Trying to post

We are on day 3. Not sure I can post many pictures so I’ll try this one. 

In Mt Maunganui. 

First day of the Campervan trip

Hit up the Hamilton Gardens. Really fun! We saw a rainbow too. Lesson learned from today. Danielle needs lunch at her usual time. Not a new lesson really. But a good reminder. 

The night before the Campervan trip

The kids opening up cards from grandma and granddad :) love the cards and the gift!

Last night casey ordered a Spider. Essentially an Ice cream soda or float. 

Another birthday cake!

Before Michael left, we celebrated my birthday again! W Peter Virginia Anthea and Shona!

And a quick picture on our way home from dinner yes day after seeing a movie in a theater. The view is lovely at night! That’s the sky tower peeking through in pink. 

A day of rainbows

I snuck a bike ride in before the rains and got to see a rainbow from the port , disappear and reappear by the harbor bridge 

And a big rainbow seen at school pick up. 

And us at lunch at the Korean Place. So delish. No rainbow. 

Fair on the hill. Sarah performed! She sang Roar

(It is unedited. The full length!) 

Morris was the first to perform. His own song he wrote. Called Breeze I think. Hannah was a back up dancer for another group (that also sang roar!)

Fun at Waterworks until sarah got hurt

She’s ok!  But got a scalp wound.
