March

Our good friends Jenny and Pete came to visit and it was Pete's birthday so I made a special dessert:-)

Lew and I woke 1 Saturday morning to a cracker day so we thought we'd make the most of it. We headed over on the ferry to Waiheke and hired scooters to ride around the Island:-) We had an awesome day:-)

The Sky was blue and the water teal:-)

We stopped at Te Whau Cafe for a delightful lunch

Had some lovely walks on some of the beaches

Unfortunately we got to Mudbrick Winery and they were closing due to a function about to start

Rob and Junia came back from Boundary Waters so I was fortunate to get a spare seat for the ride :-) There were clear blue skies all the way up and back:-)

Looking down at Boundary waters at the end of the point

Arriving back into Auckland

Feburary

We stayed with Deborah and Grant when we went down to Callum and Katie's wedding

The Happy couple with Bryce and Delwyn and Jackie and Hayden

 The Barnett's

 The wedding Party

 We went down to Christchurch to see Jess and Steve and for Lew to do a harbour swim. It worked out that we were there to help them shift into their rental:-)

I think we'll feel at home with this furniture:-)

 Sunday Lunch with an old door that Sam made up as a table for the occasion

With Goose

Look at the size of the carrot Sam got out of the garden

Their bedroom unpacked

Jess's new school

Lew did a swim at Akaroa

Anna was over visiting her mum and dad so she came out to watch Lew's swim

A delightful location for lunch afterwards:-)

Janurary

 Goat Island 

We went to Goat Island for the day with Kaylene and Graham and Coral and Steve:-) We haven't snorkeled there since the kids were young!

Picnic time

Back to Steve and Corals for a scallop and fish dinner:-)

All the catch:-)

The boys went fishing while we swam and kayaked

What a spot:-)

Out on the boat at Waiheke before Jess and Steve headed South

We found a delightful Ice cream spot:-)

Oneroa

Cam and Leverne, Reynold and Dario over for Sunday Lunch

Loading up!

I don't think they could've fitted much more in!!!

Ready to roll

Farewell for now
