NOVEMBER CATCH-UP 1: The Boyz W/E

Our boys, along with the male members of some other families we know, headed down to the Lake for some fun doing those things that boys like doing. J13 has already recorded this major event over here. There were lots of stories to tell and some very happy and tired boys at the end of it all...........one who returned with an infected cut on his foot that required a Drs visit and dressing for another fortnight!

LONG WEEKEND RETREAT

Last weekend we spent our annual long weekend with the A's at the Lake. Lots of fun was had.......travelling in convoy with w-t's, putting up tents in the dark, yummy food, lots of swimming and boating fun, the Homemade Muesli Triathlon, chocolate chip biscuiting/cream doughtnutting with only oar power, baking bread over an open fire, collecting walnuts, playing games (and possum tricks!), eating yummy food, chatting, reading and generally just relaxing. Thanks for the great time A family, we loved the time spent with you.

LAZY HAZY SUMMER LAKE DAYS

We recently spent three weeks at our favourite lake in the Bay of Plenty. Warm summer days filled with hours of swimming, sailing, kayaking, jumping off the jetty, cricket, selling plums, tenting, walking, riding bikes, eating, sleeping, reading, relaxing with new friends and old ones.......it's certainly taking a bit of adjustment to return to city living!
