Rachel took my pistachio nut shells photo and turned it into this cute cartoon. Great job Rachel!

Balloon Fiesta

We went to the “Key Grab” event on Sunday morning. The weather was sort of iffy, but they managed to get about 8 balloons up into the sky. I got this great shot of a balloon just under the rainbow. You can see more photos if you click here.

Trip North

Wednesday morning we drove up to Napier (about 3 hours north). After checking in at Kennedy Park, we spend the afternoon walking along Marine Parade. Thursday we spent the day at Splash Planet water park in Hastings. The kids had a blast. I got sunburnt.

Friday morning was spent at the National Aquarium of New Zealand and then up at Bluff Hill for a view over Napier. We spent the afternoon at the campground with the kids playing in the playground and having a swim.
Saturday morning we had planned on driving home, but decide to take a side trip up to Taupo. Had lunch there and then drove home via the Desert Road, but missed seeing the volcanoes due to the very low clouds and rain. Arrived home at 6pm, very tired but happy.

Be sure to view the map to see where we were.

Buying the Christmas Tree

1. at the Christmas Tree farm, 2. the tree, 3. the tree - decorated, 4. too many choices

We went down to the Classic Christmas Tree farm in Greytown to look for a tree. This is our first year as a family having a real cut Christmas tree. It was a beautiful day to wander outside. The tree farm had varieties of pine, fir, spruce, cypress… This is the tree we chose. An 8 1/2 foot Douglas Fir. The children decorated the tree with a bit of help with the lights and the parts of the tree that are over their heads.
