go north young man

Been a busy few weeks and we are pleased to be catching up on ourselves for a bit now.

We had a great trip up to the 'winterless' north which lived up to its name. The locals might have thought we were mad, but the boys loved splashing and swimming in the water, building sand castles and playing on the beaches of Mangawhai and Matapouri. Got to catch up with lots of family with Pam's 70th and scattering of ashes for Nanna Nance at Huia. Hanging with Milz and Jeremy by the beach and to meet his family and be treated like royalty to the best hangi EVER in Kaikohe. Great trip.

Back for a few days and then Dougal was off for a dirty weekend with the boys in Rotorua.

Arf now firmly a Kindy boy and Frank riding his bike without training wheels...

Yes they do grow up fast.
Speed freak
Coolness all round And cute
Eaten by sharks at Kelly Tarltons
Checking starfish at Mangawhai

Matapouri beach - mid winter...
Here comes dinner!
A dirty weekend - running the Rotorua tough man with the boys and luging - much hilarity all around.
