Thanks Dianna

One of the craft projects Dianna brought for the kids was making the little pom pom creatures with jiggly eyes.  Now that she left, the kids are finding creative ways to use the jiggly eyes.  Thanks!

Wow, Ellie and Cooper were so spoiled and enjoyed every minute of it!  Auntie Dianna did everything with the kids; crafts, climbing wall, MOTAT museum and shopping.  

Race Day

May 29, 2016

Ellie competed in a fun race day.  She was nervous and excited the whole time.  She learned how to dive in from the starting block and warmed up before her races.  She swam the 50m Back stroke in 1:30:93 and the 50m Breast stroke in 1:19:62. 

Finished for the Day

Climbing Wall

Ellie can climb to the top of most of the walls now.  She is a little nervous the first wall or two then gets back into climbing and up she goes!

Climbing the Mount

April 16, 2016

Two sets of our friends have move down to Mount Maunganui and we have been make regular visits down there.  It is about a 3.5-hour drive when there isn’t much traffic.  This morning we climbed up the mount to see the whole city below.  Cooper did well with his little legs and Ellie danced her way up! 

Back Again

Hello!  Wow, it has been a long time, actually way to long.  I am going to start this up again.  There will be a gap from where I left off to where we / I am now.  I will put the date of the pictures in the post along with some description.  As we get closer to the actual date/time I will expend the stories that go along with the pictures.  Thanks for reading and for asking me to start again!
