Holidays

Hi All, First day backat work today, so I thought I'd do a quick update on our summer holiday.
Christmas day was in Dunedin, the highlight was definately lying in bed, listening to the kids opening their Christmas Stockings which had mysteriously appeared overnight.

We did church, although I spent most of it in the creche with caleb, enduring a small tantrum.

Lunch was held at Sarah's parents, with cuzzies, great uncles etc. more presents were opened here. It was a bit drizzly, so we mostly stayed indoors.

Boxing day was spent packing, playing with new toys, and we also had a quick catchup with some friends who were visiting Dunedin from Christchurch.

We spent the next 6 Days at Waitaki with Grants Mum & Dad, plus Brother Rodney and his fiance Akari.
Waitaki Highlights:

• Gideon and Caleb both caught their first trout.
• Jonathan caught his first seagull with a trout rod.
• Jonathan really got the hang of riding a 2 wheeler
• Grant got half a days fly fishing on the Otematata river
• Hanging out with the family
• The heat (25 c + each day)
• No crowds

We then went to Chrischurch for four days before coming home.

Christchurch Highlights:

• Orana Park
• Shopping Malls
• Playgrounds
• Mountain biking at Bottle Lake

We then dashed home so Grant could be the MC at a friends wedding. Nerve racking, but fun
