Beach break

Waikanae Beach again, for an entire week this time. Great weather, a bach with a huge pohutakawa in the back yard, a fantastic playground, awesome cafe and visits from some of our favourite people. Tigerrr had a ball too and none of us wanted to leave.

Frank sussed out how to catch some waves.
Arf sussed out how to fly a kite.

With class.


Mae sussed out how to make us laugh: "I am the Great Cornholyoake. Take me to your leader."

Playing 'Sand-wiches.'

Beautiful buddies.


Sweeney and Ange joined us for some carrying of logs and making of dams.

Arf swinging.

Nachoes with cheese!

Hanging out with Jack and Will who are in Waikanae for the entire summer (jealous!!!)

G'Marg and Pappy came to visit and build dams, make pancakes, read books, play in the surf... Every single person who walked past said, "Which are the kids?" or "Who's having the most fun."

These demolishon men, obviously.

Will, the tow truck.

Granny Ro came up for hugs, a cafe coffee, walks and playground fun.

In need of coffee and chocolate? Sad about the holiday nearing the end.

A bikeride along the river one day and along the beach another. All of us happy as happy to be on our bikes.


Looking through the photos just makes us want to head straight back up there. Thanks heaps to those of you who came and played. We all give that holiday 5 stars, indeed.

I think you need to book a bach for at least 2 weeks next year! This year was too short a time - both Frank and Arthur so love the beach and what a great way to learn, opportunity to have friends to play and family to visit and of course to totally relax. Lots of love xxx
