Having them over was a bit tiring cause I've been on the go all day, which I haven't done much for the last few weeks. But they were very helpful and made it easy... I can see why child slave labour seemed so appealing... back then I mean... not now... well, perhaps...
So Michael and Gabriel arrived on Tuesday morning. We had lots to do, and of course lots of Wii in between doing the lots of things...
Trip to the Zoo went well, they look so grown up now!! :S
Fact for the day: Giraffe's require the least sleep of any mammal - only 1 to 2 hours per day! (Or is that per night... hmm, well you get the idea)
I love Meerkats, they are just the epitome of coolness
We also went to see the obligatory 3D movie, this time it was the new Ice Age one, pretty cool. EJ came along too cause she is always up for a kids movie, and ALWAYS up for a Wendy's shake, what a fatty! (only joking EJ I love you)
We also did some exercise - walking up Mt Climie just behind where I used to live past Upper Hutt. It's a good hour and a half up, and the same down, although I was taking it real easy for my knee's sake! I'm happy to report it went well though, and I'm in no pain at all, horay!You can see it on this map - walked from The Plateau to 'A'
The dogs came along too, and were very useful at providing a little help up the hill
You walk up through Manuka scrub, regenerating bush and up into sub alpine forest - complete with cloud/mist!
Unfortunately my camera then ran out of batteries, so I had to start using my cellphone :P
The clouds cleared for us at the top - we'd walked up from the level of those fields down below
One last pic with the real camera after warming the batteries in my hand!
And the dogs in the boot on the way home, they loved it :)
K, now I'm tired!
