2/52

"A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2015."

Harrison: You loved exploring the river and braved the cool water for a swim.
Amelie: You are in your element pottering around in the water.  This was a lovely evening spent at the estuary after our fish & chips for dinner.
Finley: You were happy to sit on the rivers edge and suck the water off the river stones!

Once again we were spoilt with a lovely week of weather so we were able to make the most of it spending our days either at the beach, estuary and on one day we went on a bush walk to the river.
The estuary was probably the best spot for our family this year as it meant all the kids could potter around without worrying about the waves knocking them over and Finley's confidence grew with playing in the water.  Lots of fun was had making dams and creating little pools of warm water where they played for hours!  The big boys had lots of fun mucking around on the skim board in the shallow water.
The kids loved having the time at the holiday house and beach to spend with their cousins and a great time for us adults to catch up and play games in the evenings. 
Harrison loved the opportunity to go fishing at the wharf and for the first time on Poppa's boat! He caught his first snapper!  He also loved getting to play a round of golf at the 9 hole with Daddy and Poppa.
We took the kids to Paddington Bear at the movies and we all really enjoyed it, Nana and Poppa looked after Finley so it was really nice for us to spend some time with the older two.
We also went to the Circus that was travelling through Whangamata, the first time the kids have been to one so they enjoyed seeing what it was all about.  The acrobats were amazing.
