Could the holidays get any better?

I LOVE school holidays. I love getting my rascals all to myself and going on adventures. Today was exactly that! Quality time and adventure :) Combined with some solid company! 

Give us a beach any day! We hit our favourite spot, Huia.

Fabulous biking and beach play and the coffee/ice cream is amazing so there is great incentive to play hard! We went on a crab hunt, we made 'families' in the sand, we biked around the dam, we stopped for many snack breaks, we hunted for treasure, played football, and just generally had a great day!

I am often these days just blown away by what good company my rascals have become :)

 Little L devouring an ice cream!

 Big L, one happy little guy- ice cream, football and a dog!

 My most divinely beautiful baby girl! 

 

And then we ended our day with an easy dinner on the deck out in the sunshine.

 N even came home early! YAY! 

Perfect end to a perfect day! 

I am Lucky

Baby Blanket :)

I was approached by the owner of Huia Cafe, my most favorite cafe in the whole world, and asked if I would make her a baby blanket for her baby (due any day now!), and of course I need no encouragement to knit so here is what I made her :)

I really really hope that she likes it!!

One for the Biking Bank

We made a happy new Local Biking Destination Discovery this morning thanks to a lovely friend :) 

Huia Dam

I can't wait for it to be weekend so we can take Big L and N! 

(And if I am really honest, so that I can ditch N with the kids and have a go at running this track!)

Huia even makes winter look good :)

Here is to my Ever Increasing Love Affair with Huia!
