Frozen Friday

Well, not quite, but it is very wet and miserable.


On Wednesday we headed north to KatiKati to find the museum. It was a rather interesting museum where there was a guided tour by the owners who have lived in KatiKati all their lives. We then played fun mini-golf and had a lovely roast lunch in the cafe alongside. Thanks Raewyn!

After the museum tour was over, the lady told me that my boys have a vast general knowledge. This reminds me that the lovely Raewyn commented that we have such fun holidays. That we are immigrants is the reason that we are trying to show our children as much of as our adopted country as we can. All we have yet to do is north of Tauranga. In the ten years we've been here I think we have done really well to see as much of New Zealand as we have.



Thursday the boys played down at Pilot Bay for a bit before we headed into Tauranga town to walk around the shops. I found a s/b shop called Bookem which seemed to have some nice stuff in it - it was just a pity that they weren't too friendly in there! Then I went along to Wendy's scrapping group which was great fun! I met Kerry (Nik's sister) and Wendy's mum and sister. I also saw a scrappy bag in real life and I am sooo impressed! These are really well made and very functional - I can't wait to get mine now! I even completed four l/os! Very easy and follow my standard school photo and pocket for reports format.


Today is wet and miserable and we are cooped up with wet washing! Actually we have taken some of it to the laundromat to get dry and are all sitting in Starbucks again. Our family of four, each with a latop, is getting lots of looks from the oter customers! We did walk out to Motoriki Island this morning but the waves weren't high enoughto be blowing through the blow hole

And still the rain is pouring down! Not sure what we'll do over the weekend, but I do hope that the rain stops soon! I hope you're keeping warm and scrapping. By the way, I finally found some dukkah at the Bin Inn in Maunganui road!
