Back at the ranch

I have been having some trouble loading up pictures so this is a little trial run.
Mum and Dad reckon we have not done justice to our place with the pictures we have taken so here are a few more. We will have to get some of the interior.

Holiday update

We have been busy, so its about time that i put up some updates before mum and dad depart.


We had a good trip up to Cape Reinga on Easter Monday. We stopped at Houhora on the way, and then again at Waitiki Landing where we had a snack. On to TePaki dunes. Most of the younguns got to the top and were impressed by the views and steepness. If anyone wants a good way of building up leg muscles try climbing up these. Patrick amazed us by going up and down 3 times.

We carried on to the cape and did all the usual things, went to the light house, admired the meeting of the oceans and the Pohutakawa tree down on the cliff.

Then it was onto Paua for a fish in the rain. Grand-dad relived his glory days, but Chantelle was the only one to catch anything. An undersized snapper and a parore.
