Olive wasn't keen on going into ballet by herself so iris helped support her and she loved it. Got right into everything. Hmmm... olive enjoyed herself too.

We finally managed to see Dan and Kats new house in Aotea. Very grand with a fantastic view. The kids had fun running a mock and we didn't leave till after 8.30pm. Raging BBQ!

First stop on our tour to Auckland. Ohakune and we checked out the playground and its developments and a path to our village with nan and grandad.
|
Next stop on our way north was to Taupo. The weather wasn't so flash so we spent the one full day we had here at the AC baths where Olive absolutely loved the rope swing - and can now stand on the bottom in the big pool!

A central Auckland office block where the workers are so busy they've put up post it note pictures on the windows - very clever.
