Holidays are hard work

I don't even remember where this was .... but we were trying out the attachment for the macpac ... turns out it's on the wrong way - he should be leaning forward onto it. He really doesn't like it though.

Family Pictures

We got some great family pics when we were in NZ. I can't believe this is the first one we have of the four of us.

The "boy" cousins ... not that there are actually any girls in the "immediate" family. Alex, Oliver, Thomas and Riley.

and the "whole" family .... it was quite a reunion!

On the Farm

We were so lucky to be able to spend a few days with Shaun on his "farm". Unfortunately Aunty Emma and Megan weren't there, but Virginia and Warren came for a visit.

Alex had the best time feeding the sheep, cows and chickens while Mum and Oliver had fun sitting in front of the fire. We were also lucky enough to sample the first steak from Shaun's own cow - we had two meals that were completely home grown .... veggies and meat ... YUM!

Duncan and I have visions of sending the boys off to the farm for the weekend when we return to Wellington. We reckon they could head off on the train on Friday after school and come back Sunday night. I hope Shaun agrees!

Daniell Street

The first stop after arrival in Wellington was Daniell Street. We had to go see the finished house. I must say we were both pleased with what we saw and are looking forward to returning to Wellington and living there with the kids. I think it's fair to say that there's a couple of things we might change with the benefit of hindsight, but on the whole we love the extra space that's been created. We can't wait to get home now.

Sliding at Victoria Park

Victoria Park is on the Cashmere Hills between Christchurch and Governors Bay. I remember coming to this park and being too scared to go down the slide ... Hence I made Duncan take Alex down on our first visit. I don't know what I was afraid of ... after a couple of visits to the Park, Alex was sliding by himself.

I love the WEEEEEE at the end of the clip.
