It was quite good getting in a beach weekend before the heat and crowds set in...although I think Mahia was the place to be for the weekend - kind of glad we didn't go to Auckland and sit through that weather for the rugby!
Wairoa, ice-cream stop, was a bit windy...
Eden practising her balancing and clapping (multi-tasking!)
Mahanga Beach for the afternoon
Sandcastles...
Digging...
Sand throwing...
Running from the waves...
Pub food at Mahia Pub, and some warm, dry rugby watching...

Eden rock-hopping...
Swinging back at the bach...
And on the way home we stopped at Lake Tutira where there were lots of signets and...buttercups!
