Kesia and Taylor's 13th Birthday Party

The plan was a day at Action World in Paihia but sadly the weather didn't play the game!  After months of sunshine the rains came down!  10 x 13 year old girls created their own "action world" down in the muddy Awaroa River!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY Kesia and Taylor:-)  May you continue to enjoy playing in the mud with friends!

Nana's 80th

How lucky we were to all be together to celebrate Nana's 80th - Nana's sister, children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and friends all gathered to celebrate. No way did Nana want to be 80 but I guess it happens to the best of us!

Ocean Beach

An amazing spring day in Whangarei, in fact an awesome weekend! Saturday was Scott and Ken's first scallop dive of the season so we enjoyed a BBQ on the deck watching the sunset dining on scallops, pipis and fine food! Dessert was chocolate fondue inspired by the fantastic dinner fondue we enjoyed on Friday night at Mike and Kathy's house(our canadian exchange Firefighter and his family). Sunday morning was spent at Ocean Beach before a relaxing afternoon in the sunshine on the deck catching up with friends.... Unfortunatley no camera but luckily Scott's cellphone was on hand to take a few beach photos.....

Bali Adventures

BALI - what an amazing place - so many different things to see and do! We had an EXCELLENT holiday, great weather, great friends and so many adventures. Everyone's highlight was the Eco Cycle Tour which started at the top of the volcano and was an easy ride 25km downhill. Enjoyed the villages along the way, friendly locals, harvesting the rice and sampling the most expensive coffee in the world!! Yes, the coffee that has been eaten by a fox cat and then pooed out!! Tasted great. The day finished with the best lunch in Bali. Just a few pics... will add more soon, Rock You proved way to slow and my patience has run out!!!
