Puanui with the Tyrell's

Second week of the holidays we were very fortunate to be invited to the Tyrell's family beach house for a few days. The kids had a blast and formed their own secret club (no adults allowed!)

Welly with the Swann's

I had a wonderful time with Lisa, Richard, Oliver, William and Lily when I went to Wellington for the WOW awards. The show was amazing and Cam is keen to go next year. Lisa and I had a lovely time catching up, and I got lots of cuddles with devine Lily. (Lily pictured here in a beautiful smocked dress by Grandma Mount.)

School hols fun with Tom and Lucy

I made it onto the flying fox! The kids had a great time collecting eggs and doing "farm" things.

At the farm with Lee's and Ireland's

The hose proved the big hit of the day, and no, it was not a warm day!

Cam's birthday

After our fantastic party on Friday night the 18th Sept it was time for a little r and r. Matakana fit the bill perfectly with a cute BandB, lovely dinner and no children it wasa lovely 2 days.

Bikkies for school cake stall

Great job Joe! Apparentley the Jammy Jewels were a great hit on the cake stand and sold out before the cook could even buy one. Lucky we snaffled a couple for afternoon tea.
