But you were always together

I had an awesome weekend with a friend of mine who just got back from a couple of weeks in Japan.
On the Saturday we went out for sushi for lunch, did some shopping, she got a dermal piercing (awesome!), we went and saw Alice in Wonderland. Then had some dinner.
Then we all got up at 7am on the Sunday and drove out to Googa (near Blackbutt) which was a camp that my friend and I had gone to together pretty much exactly TEN years earlier!
Ri went on the same camp 2-3 months after my group.
So there was the three of us at Googa. The camp we went on when we were 14-15 years old. 10 years ago.
The site had changed so much. No more chapel in the tree! No more low ropes, or horses, or cows, or chip heater. 2 new dorms. The menus now read "wedges" for dinners - this involves getting froozen wedges from the canteen and putting them in the over... kids these days!!

And the, then, four year old son of the man who now runs the camp, is now 14. He is no longer running around in a cape and afraid of girls, but is driving a ute and playing practical jokes on his parents with smoke machines under the engine of said ute. (it was pretty funny).

The three of us set up a picnic in Ris old dorm. Dorm 3. We had a moment there where I was saying "but we cant eat in there Stace! That's the BOYS DORM!".

We walked around down to the ding-a-ling and pamper pole and Stace and I cheered Ri on. He gave them both a go and he did pretty good for an oldie.
Most of the other ex-students there were from the 2006 and 2007 googa class. We were the 2000 googa class, and that will make you feel old. Add to that- the kids were talking about the first tat they plan to get (awww) and argueing over the lyrics to "Get low" - I tried to weigh in and add that it was in fact To the window - To the WALL (not WILD), but I felt like they were looking at me like I was as credible as Granny on this issue.


You know what was great about this weekend?
It was not about the wedding at all. We just had some fun.

We had dinner at Stace's and her mother asked, when did you start dating?
27th June 2005.
No that can't be right! He was always there, always helping you, like at Staces 18th. I think you've always been together...
