Hollar-days!

We're back from TWO WEEKS holiday! Two whole weeks of family, friends, loads of sunshine time, hail fights, a party, wine, games and down right fun.

We headed to Auckland to begin with to meet up with Uncle Hamish and Aunty Priscilla (over from LA). Great Aunty Pam kindly lent us her home and we had a wonderful time catching up with family and exploring Auckland.

One of the highlights was the party to celebrate G'Marg and Pappy's 4oth wedding anniversary. It was beautiful and we'd like to say congratulations again. Hopefully we will nick some of H and P's photos from the party to post next time.

After that we had a few days in Matarangi. It was completely deserted so we had the entire beach to ourselves. The Roses came to play too and the little boys ran around with their hoodies pulled up, getting up to all sorts of mischief.

Once we left the stylish bach, it was off on a Boys Fissshing Mission for Dougal and Hamish and their entourage, while the rest of us headed to Tauranga. Granny Ro moves to Wellington in a week so the house was full of boxes - how exciting!!!

Sorry this is a bit rushed. There are a million things I could write but I just wanted to get some photos up as the next few days are going to be really busy.
Hope you're all well!
