Summer hol

pics from our summer hol with our lovely friends on the tutukaka coast. All the kids had a ball hanging out together with lots of swimming and surfing. Isabella celebrated her 13th birthday and had the chance to snorkel the Poor Knights again. Harriet learnt to boogie board properly and Billy just thought he was a big kid and tried his hardest to boogie board too

Billy's first day at preschool






sadly he had an unhappy time and wasn't at all pleased at being left, the reason became clear the next night when we discovered he had huge pus covered tonsils. We are hoping he will enjoy it more next time when he is feeling better. He was very pleased with his new back pack before we left home and did enjoy some painting before the sadness of his parents leaving happened.

Sculpture trail...Auckland Botanic Gardens



On friday we headed out to the botanic gardens to look at the sculpture trail. There were 27 large garden sculptures and all 5 had a great time following the trail and exploring the sculptures

Last days of 2007....Orua

we spent the last few days of the year at orua with sarah, kahi and sol, as you can see it was all about the beach, swimming and swinging. It was a great get away after the excitement of xmas and perfect weather. For those of you kiwis watching away from home this one might make you homesick for a kiwi summer
