Good Friday we headed to Ohope to join Aunty Louie and 6 of her mokopuna. When we pulled up Ruka came out and said "Nan!! Where's my cousin?" Nathan rushed to take his belt off and they were off. Saturday morning we jumped in the car again to venture around the Coast for a day trip to Te Kaha picking Aunty Sharon up on the way. We spent a beautiful day up there having lunch and just relaxing while the kids ran around and had heaps of fun. Until Nathan got nipped by a big spider. He was playing up the hill in the Manuka with his cousins when he got a bit stuck. I went and helped him down and we were walking back to everyone else when all of a sudden he screamed in pain, I thought a wasp might have been down his top but out fell a massive spider, he freaked even more when he saw it as it was HUGE!! He was a bit shaken up after that and it was getting on so we headed for home. We got home and Jamie, Ngawiki and four more of Aunty Louie's moko were there so we had 12 Grandkids all up, 10 of hers and 2 of mums. WOW. It was pretty hectic, but heaps of fun. We fed them and put on a DVD so we could have some peace and quiet :)
Easter Sunday was Ruka's 4th birthday so we had a few more of the whanau head over for the day. We did a big feed in the hangi steamer and enjoyed another sunny day together. The kids were pretty exhausted when we headed back to the Mount later that day.
