A Week in the Mount

After the trip to Lake Rotoma the kids and I spent the week in Mt Maunganui as Dean was heading to Sydney later in the week. We made the most of the good weather, and when the weather packed it in we packed up and headed home.

Monday - Mum's actual birthday day, we grabbed some sushi and found a tree to sit under at Main Beach, at the foot of Mauao (the mountain)

Tuesday - Nathan and I spent a lovely couple of hours together at the beach. We walked out to th end of Leisure Island and then had a swim, the water was so warm Nathan swam for ages, and the waves were small and just right for him to play in, and he also found a nice little pool to relax in. These pics are off my phone so quality a little dodgy

Wednesday I was real tired and we had Lillian come and visit for the afternoon so no outings that day

Thursday - after enjoying our time just Nathan and I (which doesn't happen to often these days) We set off again Thursday afternoon to have a ride on the trike at the beach. This trike I got out of the Toy library as it is a bit lighter than his one and a good one to practice on.

Yay she is finally taking a bottle, she has had one every evening for the last couple of weeks now, With her allergy to dairy, I try get the milk machine (breast pump) going most days but when I don't get round to it she doesn't mind her soy formula too much. Here she is with Poppa before going to bed.

Friday - We headed over to the Flemings to visit Erin and Luca, Nathan loves going there and playing with Luca's toys, he especially loves the 'little house' with all its goodies inside. He was most upset last time we visited and the key was missing, so was delighted when he could get in this time and celebrated with a bit of a hula dance, he he.

Luca is a year older than Maia, and while Luca is definately the taller of the two, Miss Maia is definately more solid in every other way, he he.
