ab s parade

despite the pouring rain and crowds (100K people in wellington today)we watched the victorious Ab's show off the cup. J got to see his fav AB Richie McCaw. The boys held on in the wind and rain, standing precarioulsy on the ledges (don't worry it was only a metre off the ground) they managed to glimpse the cup.....if you look carefully you can just see the glitter of the cup.

the dowse

Not only DJ enjoys the Dowse (Lower Hutt Art museum). Regan and I had fun during the holidays making shrinky dinks (badges on plastic that you decorate then shrink in an oven) and then we explored the 100 bike exhibition. 100 renovated (ie saved from the tip) bikes, trikes and scooters) for us to ride around on, inside in the art display areas. And we got to have fluffies at the cafe :)

mum fluked this photo of me diving into the pool, what a great shot!

school holidays

During the holidays we had fun visiting friends and local attractions. We also got the chance to participate in a bike day at Avalon park with the police helping us to learn to ride safely.
Later that weekend Dj and I had a band with Aisling on the front lawn!
