Boys visit

Michael and Gabriel came up to visit for a few days over their holidays last week. The forecast wasn't very good but thankfully we got some nice weather to do outside things!

The first day we went for a paddle on the harbour with EJ

It was a really nice afternoon and perfect day for it I think

Even so, everyone apart from me, managed to get really wet! It was good exercise too, paddling against the wind to get back to our base was a good bit of cardio!



The next day we went up to Mt Bruce. It's a 2 hour drive but more than worth it for the boys, who'd never seen a kiwi...

So here's one of the 2 that we saw - didn't want to use the flash so not such a great photo, but you can see it!

We also found out that the kokako which they have there is the one in the genesis energy tree people adverts...

The day after that we played some pool and went bowling, here's Michael getting a strike

And Gabriel

We also went and saw a 3D movie (Monsters vs Aliens), took the dogs for a few walks, played Wii and went for an explore around the south coast.

It was a great few days, and Fenn enjoyed being spoilt and allowed to sleep on the bed with them!
