Another trip to the waterpad at Cornwall park on a warm day...
And thought it was time to take a "now" photo at Pekapeka Swamp...will be cool to do this same shot every few years!
So a much smaller event planned for the 13th!
We literally spent the week in the water last week. Starting with our trip to Waimarama, followed by Grandma-Alana's and Gail's pools, as well as swimming lessons in town every morning. Then me and Lachie went again Saturday morning! Lily's wish these holidays has been simple...to go and "visit" Pania of the Reef. So we made a special trip on Friday afternoon where each person could do something they chose. It was freezing! Eden wanted to go to the beach there but changed her mind once she saw it! Lachie wanted to go to Smiggle (couldn't do Palmy on the way to Napier!) so instead he got to get all his school books. I chose to buy a DVD cabinet. And since they all got new lunchboxes, Eden was pretty happy (Tinkerbell!). Cooper just goes with the flow...sleeps when and where he can! It's now been 5 days and he STILL doesn't realise he can get out of his bed! He just waits there in the morning til the wake up light goes on! Best present I ever bought 'myself', two alarm clocks (1 for each room) that light up when the kids can get out of bed (The Sleep Store).
Party popping Kane
Double pass the parcel! 
And a swim too, since it was such a beautiful Hawkes Bay day! 
Cooper had one paddling pool all to himself! 
And a cupcake all to himself too! 
Actually Gail, I didn't take that many photos...to busy relaxing I think!
THANKS Grandama-Alana and Grand-dad Tom!!! 
Wait for it...
So many watersliding photos becasue the kids did so much watersliding!
Heading out...I wasn't worried a bit, at least if they'd bounced out they had the perfect person right there to save them! 
A looooong way out and many donuts later, they returned! 
"Can we do it again?..."
Eden, at least, got to sit in a rescue boat! 
So much fun! I hope there's that many people there next time we go ;)
