Orua Summer Hol

this poor blog has been a little neglected over the summer
school hols combined with  having a  wee 2yr old 
come to live with us while her Mama is in hospital
have meant not much time for blogging
I've also debated whether to keep going with the blog
but finding the children going back through it
over the holidays has reminded me it's a really good record for them
so I'm going to try for at least a monthly round up this year
and try do a bit of a bigger January catch up
starting with our annual time away at Orua
we left with this crew on Boxing Day



 1st evening walk


 morning at Orua






afternoon at Awhitu

 and the same again the next day
with our friends joining us


sunset dance pics with Harriet





Friday morning walk
before I had to return for a weekend of work
but also some hanging out in the city with these 3
Island Gelato on the wharf


showing Lola the city at sunset




we all headed back down to Orua Monday morning
and were joined by more friends
