This year's theme for our midwinter camping trip in June was "Indian" - as you will soon see from the photos!! Our family got a late start heading up to Raetihi this year and missed the first night due to school and sport commitments, but we made it for the big Indian Feast (minus Meggie who stayed behind in Wellington). The Hobbs family joined our group this year too - so lovely to have them with us as well. My contribution was a dessert - I tried to make Havla but it wasn't very good. However I also bought a ton of ice cream so at least that was good.
