ok ok, time to update

finally have the computer on line and all sorted (and the time to get on it and organise some posts!)
It has been a busy month getting from Adelaide back to NZ and having some time of in between.

These are our good friends Prudence and Alan from around the corner, the girls loved visiting and swimming in their pool, and playing with the toys out of Prudence's toy cupboard!!!

Last Day at kindy, Ella was quite sad about leaving all her friends and Teachers at kindy, and will miss them all.

our first few nights away from Adelaide, we didn't get far, just down to Victor Harbour. (see link here) and had a great day watching the whales (just from the beach and rocks) and spending hours in the Whale info center looking at all the impressive displays.
lots of Whale bones, this one just the head/jaw bone!
a cool collection of Shark stuff too. (part of Rodney Fox's collection...) the coast off Adelaide being famous for the great white shark... (see link to Swim with the Sharks here.)

movers here today

last post probably for a few weeks
see you all back in NZ soon.

I think we have been here long enough

Zoo trip in the holidays

Something else we did in the holdiays, was go to the Zoo. Shame we are going to miss the pandas when they arrive in october. There is a lot of building work going on at the moment, getting ready for their arrival and developing a whole new entrance and education centre.... Adelaide Zoo


Ella found the face painting! and is a fairy (of course) checking out the old flamingos...



And Lucy was interested in this snake. don't worry its actually carved out of the rock and pretty sure it's harmless...

Ella's Dance show

Ella all excited before the show, practicing her 'starting position'


Then at the show, if you can make her out, thats Ella 3rd in from the left. She had fun and enjoyed watching the older kids do their dances.

That was the first weekend of the holidays, now what else did we get up to over the holidays?
that will be in the next post...

Lucy's table antics

Lucy expressing her opinion at breakfast time...



then Dinner time!

some catching up to do

Lucy has to run to catch up these days, but she's doing pretty well, not too many face plants!
And speaking of running to catch up, I have been a little slack on the blogging...
