Trip to Nannie and Grandad's

We went to the Hawke's Bay to visit Nannie and Grandad and so Mum and Dad could go to the mission concert.

It was a super long trip but we got to stop at Old Macdonalds in Taupo and its an extra special one with an aeroplane!

Grandad made it extra exciting by coming home in his police car to show us - we've very proudly showed this photo off at kindy too!

We had lots of fun going to the park and playing in the sprinkler, feeding the ducks and going on a farm visit, then having ice creams on the way home.

It was all over too fast, but at least Nannie and Grandad are visiting us now.

Bikeathon

Last week Mackenzie did her bikeathon.

She pedalled, and pedalled and pedalled. Not stopping once until the teacher's said it was all done.

Great job Mackenzie!

Thanks everyone who sponsored her.

Picnic at the river

It was sooooo hot on Saturday we went for a picnic at the River.


We had lots of fun having a swim in the river and playing with the puppy dogs who were swimming too.
Alex also put two words together for the first time - "Bye boat"

Our friend Luciella

Luciella came to play after kindy. Luciella and Mackenzie play all sorts of exciting games at Kindy, although lately they've been having a lot of trouble finding princes and husbands to join in their games. They do say that kindy sets the groundwork for life!

Friends turning 5

It seems to be birthday season in Hamilton and Mackenzie is fast sending her parents broke by being invited to every birthday in town.

It's great to catch up with all our big school friends though now that we don't see them at kindy - Mackenzie is missing them lots!

Bella comes to play

Our cousin Bella came to play - in the pool and in the house, although she wasn't so impressed with Alex's lovely gentle pats to say hello - maybe it's because he was covered in sand from head to toe.

Bella also brought back Mackenzie's dolls cot which she'd been having a turn with, unfortunately Alex thought it was for him and not Bethany.

Catching up with friends

We went on a trip to Gordonton to catch up with our friends Sophie and James. It was a beautiful day and we had so much fun!
