Labour Weekend in Te Kaha

Well it was off to Te Kaha again for the long weekend to get a few jobs done before the Christmas holidays.  Mum and I set off a couple of days earlier so we could take our time with the kids.  We headed to the Mount on Wed and then off to the Coast on Thursday.  We stopped in Opotiki for lunch and a visit to Aunty Leti and Aunty Bari.

First stop on arrival is checking out the creek

When Dani and the boys arrived Friday night, Nathan raced over saying Ruka Ruka woo hoo woo hoo, and from then on the boys played together the whole time

Aunty Leti giving Maia cake, the girl knows how to get people to feed her, she gives the most appreciative sounds and smacking of lips when eating

Kumara Salad duty

The look says it all about this job

Job number 2, making a platform for the loo, was pretty slippery around there when wet

Nanny Louies slide kept them entertained for ages

Platform completed, awesome job boys!!

Smoked Eel on the menu - yum yum!
