Reuben's School Disco 27/06/08

Reuben had his School disco. He spent pretty much the entire night collecting and walking around with a huge bundle of balloons - yes - they did fit in the car! We went all out - spiked the hair & even sprayed it with glitter! Check him out - my big Dude!!

Logan off to a party 21/06/08

Logan had a birthday party to go to, and I took a couple of photo's before we left. Check out the wee dude.... My gosh he is sprouting! Guess that's what happens when you feed them (lol).

Player Of The Day 21/06/08

Reuben got Player of the day - he had a great game. Got 3 tries!! (Check out the muddy knees). Shane was working, but was proud to see him bring home the trophy! Have to watch this space... he just loves playing rugby. Gets right in there. Next year he'll play tackle instead of touch - should be interesting. The Speights Ale house is our team sponsor this year, so he also got a meal voucher to use there.

A little face paint anyone? 08/06/08

We went to a silent auction - something new - it was great if you ever get the opportunity. Playcentre were holding this as a fundraiser. It was a great afternoon... The kids enjoyed playing on a bouncy castle & getting their faces painted. Reuben escaped to the bathroom to wash his face before I had the chance to get the camera.

Bird spotting...02/06/08

On our way back from Lake Henry, we walked through the wild life park. Here are a few bird shots just to finish off our weekend!! Hope you all had a lovely long weekend. Bye for now.

Wow - what a feast for the eyes..... Stunning, Beautiful & ... well see for yourself!! Just a few minutes walk from Te Anau.... & you can walk around this Lake!

The Hidden Lakes 01/06/08

The "boys" (Old & young) went on a fishing trip, and also checked out the Hidden Lakes. Nigel managed to catch a fish - the tastiest one of the season!! Reuben was the only lucky one to end up with sandfly bites.... Souvenir I guess! Both Reuben & Brayden had a go at steering the boat when trawling - their smiles were from ear to ear when they got back!

Few more on the way back......31/05/08

Just a couple more photo's of our walk back...

Black & Whites at Te Anau playground 31/05/08

Te Anau Queens Birthday Weekend 2008

We managed to head away with the boat for a long weekend!! The weather pretty much held out & we had a fantastic time. We stayed with Liz & Nigel, and we had a full-on weekend.

These photo's are the ones I took on Saturday afternoon when Liz & I took the troops for a walk... (Big boys were out fishing/boating).
