Morning out in the school holidays :)

My eldest daughter is doing a history assignment on the Napier earthquake so we decided to take a trip to the CHB Settlers Museum this morning.

We had a really good time and the little ones totally loved it all. They pumped the water and played with the old telephones and ovens, enjoyed looking at the chainsaws and old farm equipment, lots of interesting things to see.

My favourite moment was when my 8 year old daughter asked where the screen was on the typewriter!!!!!!!!! Then called her older sister over to come see it saying "come and look at the cool old fashioned computer"!!!!!!!!!! wow times have changed and only in like 15 years!!!

I also had to show them how to use the dial phone, one day they will be showing their children how to use a button cell phone.

Good times in the school holidays :)

One great holiday

So last year me, Tama, our youngest daughter and Tama's parents took a trip to aussie!!!! It was such a great holiday and we had so much fun. We went to the gold coast, sea world, movie world, Australia Zoo (Yes it really is just the best and made me sad thinking about steve, the crocodile hunter) and then Tama and i went to Sydney to stay with our really good friends!!!!

It was one of those holidays that i will always remember and was over too soon. We had these dreams of moving over, and running in the mornings beside the sea, having brunch in the cafes, taking the ferry over to the Sydney Opera House, scanning and picking through the markets for hours. But these are the moments of holidays, not my everyday life, and really thats what makes holidays special.

Tell me about one of your favourite places?

Papamoa how i love thee let me count the ways...
