Day 63 - Ponto Falls to home

This morning we were greeted with a morning frost, not a heavy one but any frost feels heavy when you are in a tent.  On top of that given our location next to a river, the fog was hanging around as well.  A real misty start to the day.  It was our final packup, it was cold and so we were trying to make sure we didn't dawdle but also trying to let the tent dry.  The dew was pretty heavy.

 Bit of frost to greet you in the morning

As you would expect we had a restless sleep trying to keep boys covered, whilst do the same for ourselves.  Dad was wearing in a beenie by the morning.  All four of us were piled into bed till around 6:45 or so.  

Dad hopped up and started to prepare a warm breakfast of baked beans on toast.  Needed something to encourage the warm blooded little ones to emerge.  These were quickly consumed and pack up began.  As per usual the boys escape at packup time, out on their bikes down the tracks.  Mum and Dad are now well tuned machines, pulling the whole thing together quite quickly.  With no distractions around our departure time was a record breaking 8:35am.  Griff's remark looking at the clock in the car "we leaving in the eights, very good!".

The boys are excited about heading back home today.  They have picked out what they are going to play with first; Griff - Lego, Andi - Barbies.  Dad was probably the least keen to head back to normality.

Before descending on the 'berra we stopped for fuel for Charlie and ourselves at Yass, we thought that McDonalds would be a nice way to finish off the trip.  The boys had a great meal, for Mum and Dad the place doesn't have the same zing.  Nice but not something you would long for!

Back on the road we enjoyed a fairly traffic free entry into Canberra.  We pulled up at around 2pm.  The boys screamed inside to check everything out as if they needed to remember what the house looked like.  It was spotless inside, that was until we started the unpacking process.  We fixed that clean house in a jiffy.

Over the weekend we will begin the long process of cleaning, washing and getting back to normality.  Not looking forward to the Monday morning rush!
