In the office

Joe and Nick love going into Dad's work. We took lunch in for Dad in the holidays and had the grand tour including the warehouse which was very exciting!

Dunedin for the holidays

Springtime at the Botanic Gardens is just beautiful, those cute ducklings were so sweet.

Here is Nana with her boys at the musuem. The boys went on to create havoc at the cafe. We made a quick exit after 3 Spidermen stared running amuck!

Dunedin for the holidays

At Hamish and Jo's farm feeding the sheep. Portobello playground had some great boats for action.



We had a lovely picnic at Kaka Point. Not exactly tropical weather but a beautiful spot for the sammies and juice. Here are Joe and I by the Balclutha bridge... it was a tad windy.

Dunedin for the holidays

Here are the boys at the Art Gallery, an installation called the "Bouncy Marae" which was much more exciting to them than the fantastic art I was trying to look at!
Feeding the ducks around the road from Mum's house was popular as was fluffys at St Clair beach.



Joe is holding the lego helicopter which took Mum all of 2 hours to make... he had just broken his arm so it was 2 hours well spent to keep him occupied and happy!
The farmers market had great coffee and food.

Dunedin for the holidays

With brother Mike and cousins Matthew and Lucas at the beach. Matthew's 3rd birthday party (great cake Karen!)

On the farm with Ella, Jimmy and Henry. Here are the kids feeding the pigs. Our city slickers had a blast.

School Show

The big night arrived, the show was Under the Sea and all the children from the junior school were involved in various song and dance routines. The school band played a rousing rendition of London Bridge plus an original compistion called the Freemans Bay Jam and the choir sung a couple of numbers to major applause. Unforutantly we took a few too many photos while waiting for the show to start and ran out of memory just as Joe's class came on... major upset hence a lack of photos of the star (well our star anyway.) Will do better next time!
