Easter

Thank you Jesus!! He's the reason we get a nice break, so let's not forget the sacrifice he was for us, and that he rose to life so that we may have life eternal. Awesome!!

Well we had a lovely Easter weekend in Waiwera (north of Auckland). The Hilliards book out the same house each year. It has a pool and spa that are heated thermally There's also some kayaks and a row boat that can be taken out right off the back door step, and quite safe for the kiddies as it only ever gets to about mid calf height. Just enough to be able to row :-) It was a pretty relaxing time, with a few outings. Dean, Nathan and I went for lunch in Puhoi. We went to the cheese factory and bought some yummy cheeses from their shop. We went to the silverdale markets on Saturday too. Other than that we swam heaps, ate heaps and veged heaps. Oh yeah we also took heaps of photos, here is a sample...











Tokoroa Old Girls

Saturday 8th April saw a few of the old crew from Tok get together. Our mums used to hang out a lot and we all played together while they had parties, or at the rugby or sqaush clubs. It's not really as bad as it may sound :-) we had heaps of fun, and they always gave us some money for a pie or some milk toffees, bonus!!. It was great catching up on what everyones been up to. Some of us hadn't seen each each other in over ten years. Most of us have little ones now, so that was cool having the kiddies hanging out. It was great fun looking over old photos and watching an old home vid from over 20 years ago, very funny!! We hope to make it an annual event.
