I was asked to attend a forum on Monday night in Wellington, and as we were already there, it wasn't too hard to stay on, hense Mike's bus trip...well worth going AND it meant we had a "spare" day to explore! A birthday party Tuesday morning also meant a long drive home through the middle of the night (with a lot of CD's, Lift+ and a bit of chocolate!)

Here's my favourite photo of the weekend - just wanted to put it first! 
Started the day visiting Toby, James and Rachel (and seeing Aunty Jayne) - the view from the new deck...
Eden liked the "cage"
The two little ones (guess who's littler though!) got full-reign for a while...

While Eden teased Aunty Jayne...
Through the nets...
Then full-on invasion!
After that we went on the cable car..."Can we have one of those in Waipuk?"
Then Te Papa where Eden made lots of friends as usual - this is one of the cute ones!
A bit of caving...
Digging up dinosaur bones...
More archeology...
And even juice and crackers!
The cool glass tunnel...
And of course Lily found somewhere to dance! Joined by Lachie...
Finally those big kids moved on!
And that yummy gelato place nearby is still going!
Back to the car quickly as it was still cold outside...
Ready for saint Cathie to babysit the girls while Lachie went and hung out at Shaun and Joe's apartment while I was at my meeting! And everyone had fun! Home at 2am...another very efficient trip! (Bit tired now though)
