Where in the World part 2...

Well, so much for weekly geography lessons - I always come up with brilliant ideas, it's just the follow through I have trouble with. But better late than never. Anyone know where in the world this google earth photo is taken from? Leave you answer in the comments section.

Things that blow up

We started Saturday with a nice quiet lunch with Nanny and Poppa at Surreal Cafe, Whenuapai. Nathan's love of trees, flowers and grass (actually his love of eating them) could make this place his favourite spot.

Guy Fawkes Night

Well NZ still commemorates the day when some dude named Guy Fawkes and a few others tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament in Britain about 400 years ago. We do this by letting off fireworks on November 5th. But not only on the actual night, some idiots like to do it in the few nights leading up to it, around 2am and a few nights afterwards. In the little valley we live in this echos very loud and wakes Nathan up :-/ But on the actual night we decided if you can't beat em, join em! So we did enjoy them for a little while (see video also) Now where back to wanting them banned, as we fall off to sleep with what sounds like world war 1 going on outside.

Little Horses and the Neighbours

Last week on a visit to Aunty Lisa's house, Uncle Troy took Nathan down to check out the mini horses, he even got to sit on one. Then then Jacob and Sam from next door came over to show Nathan how all his hard work growing his teeth will be for nothing when in a few years time they're gonna fall out... That's Jacob with the gummy smile.

Another Trade Me Score

This is the highchair we scored a while ago off Trade Me, pretty cheap. Anyway Nathan loves to eat his food in here, and sometimes his foot!!
