Holidays are over and we have been back at school all week.
Illness has been the keyword - we have all been laid low with various ailments, involving headaches, sore shoulders and noise sensitivity.
So the holiday was a quiet affair, with lots of sleeping and reading and recovering. Eric did his ATC parade on Anzac day and we (C and I) went to the town service at 11am rather than the dawn parade. It was a sobering event.

Calamity put a spoke in the wheels of our family day out as well. Eric managed to drop a large log on his foot when we were out being lumberjacks. He and Chan spent the day getting it sorted at hospital - he had an Xray and then had to wait until Friday (from Monday) for the result! Good job it was only a sprain.

So Paddy, Stuart and I went down to Paihia without them. We had lunch at a cafe they had been to with Gma and Gdad Cambridge called Freddy's. Then we went to a circus activity themepark called Action world. You could have a go at tight rope walking, trapeze and there was a massive water slide. They loved it and used up lots of energy.

We had a couple of shooting nights, did some gardening and then started getting ready for school.

Pictures will follow at some point.
