Last day of the Holidays

Well, the holidays are nearly over but they have been wonderful. Amazingly neither Matt or myself got sick as usually happens on any winter holiday so we've been able to pack in a lot of fun into every day. The weather has also been fantastic (well, cold but not raining most days) so we've been able to go out for lots of walks which is great.

I've think these holidays can chiefly be remembered for the plentiful walks to parks and playgrounds, and that fact that I have been baking (and of course eating) muffins obsessively throughout the two weeks.

Matt and I have both managed to squeeze a productive amount of writing into everyday except the middle Sunday so that's good too, and the whole family got haircuts.

Photo Highlights:



Dom helpfully modelled a stylish Tutu that Giffy had made.



Dom enjoyed his visits to Kotuku park and playground. Lots of stones and bark to grab as souvenirs...



... or to throw into the water.



Climbing up the slide is always fun.



Dom and his dad walk around Kotuku park towards the playground.



The ducks at the park got so used to our daily visits that they started spotting across from the other side of the park and race over to meet us. Dom enjoys their rowdy quacky greetings.



Another daily ritual is stump walking. Dom steps up and down over every tree stump. Lots of fun.
