OK, so while I'm here...

.... I should share some photos from our weekend. We went to the Easter show in Auckland. It was a great day out, ok, yes, a bit expensive, but we were there from 12.30 - 7.30, and had a ball.

The boys are getting old enough to try new rides, although Cameron is still very hesitant to try anything different. We were very proud of him to try the rock climbing wall, and he has even agreed to try it again to see if he can get further.

For me, this was one of the things I was looking forward to. Unfortunately the 'concrete man' was just wandering around, and I nearly missed him. He walked past while Cameron was getting ready to go on the wall, and I definately didn't want to miss that, so I only caught a snippet of the concrete man in action.

Census baby (just)

OK, so she is now 6 weeks old, but she is here. Iesha, born to Wendy and Adrian, on March 7, just before 8pm, just made it into this years census. She is such a good baby, you don't see or hear her, until she is very hungry, and even then.........

OK, so I stink at this blog thing.......

....... but I am still here.

I've just typed a whole post and then lost it, aaaargh, so this may be the abridged version.

A couple of weeks ago we were lucky to be taken to away for the weekend, courtesy of JOns work, a kind of partner appreciation time. We went to Waitomo, stayed at the original hotel, and in the afternoon learned we were to go Black Water Rafting. OK, 2 things, first, I am scared of small/confined spaces, secondly they were dividing the group up, and we were being mixed, so, get to know the person next to you, they are your new rafting buddy. It was not as bad as I first thought, the space thing wasn't as bad as I first thought, and we had a great group, including 2 really cool guides.
In the evening, we dressed up, or rather down, farm attire, and went to Billy Blacks. Now you may not know Billy, but you may have seen his mate, Don Rash on TV. Billy does a 'farm show', absolutely fabulous, lots of animals, and audience participation, I would imagine a real hit with the tourists. Check it out
