Our Summer

Starting a tradition...christmas morning opening presents in bed, in the back of a car!!
 We got each other $10 gifts from the Warehouse!
 Christmas Lunch at the Douglas'
Playing Ninja, after attempting and failing to play grid iron



 Family shot  of those of us who were there, quite like the casual approach
 You gotta love New Zealand when grocery shops that direct their customers to 'Chippies' down isle 14
 Camping at Wai moana something in the Hawkes bay,
 Nachos, with no pan, can opener, dish detergent etc.

 All 6 of us slept in the one tent, it was gale force winds, the tent roof and sides were flapping on our heads, we all had an awesome sleep!
 We went to Wellington for the night for an early anniversary dinner
 Sitting in our luxurious robes
 Heading home from convention, stopped for a swim in the river and some KFC
 Love this photo
 Russell, waterfront cafe!
 Dad and Rob's birthday, think it was 84 and 54
 Going snorkelling
 My typical summer style, a swollen knee and a limp!!
 We took Sharon to the whole in the Rock, she fed the fishes on the way,  Poor Sharon...

 Some FUSH n CHups?
 5 on the dingy works awesome
 Our gourmet meal, sitting with our personal chef, a la Sharon


 Pili told me to boil this plant, crush it, put it on my knee and wrap gladwrap around my knee to stop the swelling and pain. Lots of people do craft blogs, I took this photo cause I considered doing a natural health blog ;) you can email me if you want a breakdown of the instructions ;)
 Went to Lake Rotoiti for the weekend at the Harris' thought these are cute photos of the wind blowing!!

 We went for a wakeboard at twilight on the lake, it's the first time I have ever been on a boat with people wakeboarding since I hurt my ear wakebaording maybe 6 years ago!! I didn't have a go cause of my knee but I got my kicks out of driving the boat!! It's actually super fun!

 Steveo!!



There is more to come from this last weekend, will post it another day, I started school today!!! so we took a photo of my first day at school like a 5 year old!! Had my knee operation now and is still swollen and sore but feels loads better.
cheerio...
