Art Deco weekend

last weekend was busy, Ella went off on friday afternoon to spend the weekend with Grandma and Poppa, then at 5pm Ang Lucy and I joined the neighbours and other friends at the More FM winery tour. Black Barn was packed and we all had a great time listening to Boh Runga and Che Fu, followed by Tim Finn, Dave Dobbin and Bic Runga. All the music that you know enough to sing along to, (if you choose to obviously)

 

Then saturday I managed to get in some racing with the cycle club (it was pretty hot!) and then later that afternoon we went over to Napier and wandered around the waterfront/soundshell, listened to Jazz, watched the vintage cars putt up and down the street, sat on the beach, and generally chilled out.

Sunday we drifted back over to Napier mid morning and watched the soap box derby races. Some folk have spare time to make very impressive box cars...

icecreams and then back home to greet Phil and Michelle with Jasmine and Amber who are over from Adelaide. The girls had a great afternoon playing dress ups and in the cubby house, then we all sat down to a big sunday roast dinner! Yum.

Grandma and Poppa joined us for dinner too, Happy Birthday Poppa!
