I have not posted for awhile as my PC hasnt been working too well. So I have got lots of photos to share. Dad asked me to put a photo on of our house from the front so here it is.
This is from the back of the he house.
Martin and Joe builing the fence between the garages.
This is a new build just in front of ours, How to make you feel small!!
Suggled up on bonfire night, we were all waiting for it to go dark so we could see the fireworks.
Sam and Joe stuffing their faces! The yellow coat is our neighbour Karen.
We have just been to Auckland for a long weekend. This is Jess and Sam watching TV
in the apartment. We stayed on the Princes Wharf which was lovely.
Sam and Joe sat on a cannon in Devonport, auckland on Mount Victoria.
One of the main reasons for the trip was Kelly Tarltons aquarium.
Jess loved the bus.
And the penguins, the Sweatshirt she chose specially for the day!
Me holding Jess on a stool as the we stood on a moving platform under the sharks.
Sam as the sharks dinner!
Jess not quite so brave.
I am sure there are lots more photos on Martins phone so I should be able to post some more later.
We are fence building and painting all this weekend. The kids are just having a water fight outside. Luckily both sets of neighbours are away so the screams are causing concern apart from to Martin!
Things are getting back to normal here in the Bay just in time for Summer, the beaches have all been reopened, the ship wreck has been pumped clean of the 1700 tonnes of oil. They are now working on the 1000+ containers balancing precariously over the sides. 40 are still missing at sea so watch ou for those of you who are sailing over here!! The captain and his second are still in jail and face trial on the 20th December. Not sure how they are going to get the $15 million dollars back that the clean up as cost.
4 weeks left at school and then its the summer holidays. This year has flown, Sam and Joe will go back to Year 8 their final year before college and Jess will go back to school as a year 4.
Looking to forward to our visitors arriving on the 18th Dec.
love to all xxxx
