The Week That Was

Well after posting Nathan's busy weekly schedule last time, we ended up with what started as a slow week for the little man. He had a cold so we missed swimming, movies and playgroup. We managed to meet Dean for lunch on Wednesday and a quick visit to the Zoo as our 'Friends of the Zoo' pass came in the post, which means we get in free anytime we want for a whole year. An early birthday present from Nanny Mardi and Poppa Dunc. Friday his nose was only running a wee bit so we headed out to Mainly Music and the Library. We finished the week on a high with a pretty cool weekend...

SATURDAY
We headed out for the day with a morning at Western Springs feeding all kinds of birds, and trying to dodge their poos. It was then off to the garden centre so Dean could get the flowers he wanted to spruce up our two little gardens by the driveway. In the afternoon we got all packed up, picnic and all and headed to the Zoo for the Che Fu concert only to rock up with our tickets and be told 'Sorry that is on tomorrow'. Good one Janna! That is the second time we've turned up on the wrong day for something. Lesson learnt! Look at tickets properly!! Anyway it wasn't all bad, they guy let us go in anyway and have a stroll around. We thought while we're out and about might as well do something so headed to Mission Bay to see some Salsa dancing and listen to Kantuta in the park.








SUNDAY
We got it right today and headed back to the zoo to see Che Fu. The opening acts were pretty good too, especially Ladi6. The highlight of the night had to be when Nathan won a $500 electric guitar. All we had to do was buy a $10 tiger tail which is to help the Zoo raise money to bring a new tiger over from Israel, and then the funny part was they had to go on stage and shake their tiger tails, and the best shaker won by crowd vote. And how could Nathan not win by crowd vote? I suppose a little booty shaking help from Dad didn't go astray either. (will also put a vid on with the action :-)
