Aunty Jane

Today we had a delightful visit from Aunty Jane and cousins Jordan and Lachlan. Lachie doesn't much like his picture taken so Jordy has him in a headlock!

The children had fun raiding the strawberry patch and snaffling all the sugar-snap peas while the grown-ups talked and caught up (it's been a year or two) Lachie enjoyed bouncing on the trampoline and the other kids watered the cows and fed the chooks:-)

With a bit of luck Nigel will be able to come next time... Arohanui Nige.

Good Morning Bunnies

Here are the sleepy bunnies drinking their breakfast milk

Toffee apples

Yesterday we went to one of the local primary school's gala fair. The girls had a marvelous time jumping in the bouncy castle, petting all the baby animals, pigging out on candyfloss and having a horse ride (Lily's first) Ali rode a big bay mare called Grace, Lily rode a miniature pony called Sweetie-pie. Ali giggled with joy for almost the whole of her turn, Lily took it all in her stride showing no fear but she was talking about it and doing re-enactments excitedly afterwards. Unfortunately we didn't get any photos at the fair but we did snap one of the girls first ever toffee apples when we got home :-)

Tidy room!

Ali spent ages tidying her shelves and was well pleased with herself when she finished.
