Day 13

Friday morning we awoke rather late, dressed for the last time in our cupcake overalls and headed out to Darwin Adventist School. There we spoke to the children and handed out sample bags.
We also decided to vacuum Candy in preparation for our final dinner. The red dust was everywhere. Things came out of the boot and off the seats to give a thorough cleanout.
It was then a rush back to get changed into our naval outfit and head to the Naval Base.
They showed the DVD that was in celebration of this years bash - the Cupcake Girls featured quite heavily! There were also shots of the cars and participants over the past week.
The setting waws lovely although the evening started out a little damp and coolish.
Thanks to the Red Baron fire engine, Robyn's jacket went missing part way thorugh the night. One of the guys adapted a chair cover as a cape to keep her warm. The seat cover later became a flag "Cupcake Girls" rule for the Red Baron in place of their RM Williams flag.
IT was a very late night as this was the last time we would all be together... was a happy and sad evening.
We eagerly await our reunion dinner in about a month.
