We had a fun night up at Snells Beach last night. We picked up the boys at Warkworth after they had spent a day helping Poppa on a building project up at Kaiwaka. We then shared a meal with the Rikiriki's and Julia in Snells Beach and wandered down to the park at the end of their street to wait, in anticipation, for SKYFAWKES........an annual event put on by Lifeway.
Thanks, Julia, for telling us about the fireworks setting on our camera!
Lots of fun was had by everyone listening to local (and not so local) talent perform, chatting, eating and enjoying the company of family. And THEN watching a fantastic Fireworks display - thanks Lifeway! It must be the one time in the year when there is a traffic jam in Snells Beach!!!
Oh, and I almost forgot.......the story of Anna (big cousin Anna, not our small bear!) running along to the Fire Station to raise the alarm for the fire which we could see burning in the distance and, can you believe it, being told that she had to ring 111!!!!!!!!!
Our small bear, A2, decided to hide under her 'Pooh' blanket after the 'pretty sparkles' started to become 'very loud' sparkles!!
Thanks for inviting us ......we had a fantastic time. There is always something special about getting together with family, something I think we all realise is very precious.
