Mini Break

During the first week of the school holidays we went North and joined the rest of the Hilliard crew at Coopers Beach. We drove up on a nice day (Wednesday) and drove home on a nice day (Sunday) but unfortunately every day in between was pretty cold and wet. It was still nice to get away. Dean was still able to go and get mussels off the rocks at low tide, Dean and Troy went fishing and caught a Kahawai which they filleted and got battered at the local fish and chip shop, and I was able to pick some watercress from a stream on the side of the road. That's one thing I love about New Zealand you can get out there and get yourself a feed from the land and the sea. Awesome!!!

Despite the not so nice weather there was one Beach outing

Some rough and tumble with Uncle Troy

We ventured to the Kiwi Park but it had closed down. I did spot some watercress though to take home for dinner!
