Summer is here!!

Today was the first day we could use the pool this summer. What fun! It was definitely warmer than other places we have swum in recently (Cleopatra's Pool and Anchorage). Yay, roll on summer!!

Volleyball action

Last week, Allan Brodie came to teach us some volleyball skills. He showed us how to set, dig and spike. Good skills were learned!

Entertaining the RSA

We were fortunate to be invited to entertain the RSA people at their luncheon recently. We practiced before hand to make sure we were going to be great (and smiling)! The performance went really well, the audience seemed to really enjoy our stuff!

Sydney!!

I have just spent 5 fabulous days in Sydney with my sisters and cousins (all girls), so that we could celebrate my Auntie's 80th birthday. This event happened kind of in memory of my Mum who would have turned 80 in November as well.
I did most of the driving in a wicked-as car, a Toyota Aurion. We talked a lot, sang songs together, and ate heaps of food!

The 'white house' belongs to my Auntie, and is right on the waterfront - it's gorgeous!

This was certainly a weekend to remember, and we even got to see the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge.

Whaea Jane

Split Apple Rock

On Friday we went to Split Apple Rock. We dammed up a small stream. It was really fun. We made about four walls to try and save the Lyttleton family (which were sticks) and their house was a big clump of sand. The amount of water that burst out was huge. We went to the caves onthe other side of the beach. On the way we saw a half dead baracuta stuck under a rock but it wouldn't live long because a hungry looking seagull landed right next to it.

As we left Ancorage, thinking that it would be a hour and a half walk, it ended up being a half an hour walk as we skipped the hill and walked across the Torrant Bay estery. We finilly arivied at Torrant bay as we waited for the water taxi to pick us up. As we hoped on the water taxi we bonced up and down as we came to a sudden hult to find four little blue penguins swimming in the water, looking for food. Then we made it to Marahau.
