For Mike's last day off we headed to Turoa for some fun. But first we had to stop at all the BIG things...the big gumboot; Lily kept calling "where are you giant?"
Lachie was impressed by the tanks at Waiouru, he figured out which was the biggest (6 wheels versus 5) and would have nothing to do with the (ever so slightly) smaller one!
And the canons, luckily no-one asked what they were for!
We never found the bunny that would eat this carrot, but we'll need many more children to be able to give it a cuddle like Lily and Lachie insisted on doing!
When we made it past all the sunshine and got up the mountain, we were in the clouds, wearing so much that we only had cold faces! Quite a few people up there, but the sliding slopes were mostly ours! Lachie's been talking for days about throwing snowballs at himself, but once there, that wasn't the plan...getting Daddy was! 
Then onto the sliding action!
And a snowman too of course!
Eden loves watching people all around, and with half a dozen layers on was super cosy!
We paused for hot chocolate...
hot chips...
and pineapple lumps...
Then out for more snow action, this time with Daddy behind the camera
Which meant I got to have a few goes, well, maybe a few more than that actually!
So much fun! We headed back via Palmy for tea and shopping.And although we are enjoying a warm sunny day today, we're going back next chance we get...
