the great treasure hunt

On sunday we tried our first Capital E treasure hunt. It was great fun, DJ and I zoomed around on our scooters solving puzzles and completing tasks. Everything from obstacle courses, to decorating biscuits and identifying art sculptures. Definitley on for next year.

holiday activities

the rainy days meant we had to spend some time indoors - luckily we have our new race car track.
When the rain finally did clear we spent the night in the backyard in the tent. Good practice for our cub/kea camp in March. NB midnight snacks are crucial, usually eaten way before midnight though :)

mum's extended family

over some of the days in the holidays we had some extra playmates - 3 in fact. So mum tried her hand at entertaining five boys! We had heaps of fun, lots of bushwalks, water fights and on the last day we caught the bus into lower hutt to watch the chipmunk movie. We also had a picnic lunch at the park.

while we were away there was a bit of rain so we had time for indoor games. J was developing his card house skills. And we did get the chance to go in the surf...it was warm but see did wasn't quite keen enough to join the boys!
