This weekend I travelled down South to spend some time with my whanau. My favourite thing is always the big hug I get from my Finnnie & I am always suprised how fast he is growing - it won't be too long before he is looking down at his Mum & his Auntie Maree.And here's some pix to prove it...
It doesn't seem to long ago when Finn was standing safetly out of range and waving to me as I mowed the lawn, and now here he is Lawnmower Man, and he can even get the mower started! Can hardly believe, and am very impressed. I can see him jumping on the back of Nick's ute this coming Summer & helping him do lots of man chores.
After we had watched Finn do all that hard work off we headed to Riverton & before we hit the beach we just had to have lunch at D&D's favourite Kiwi Cake Place " Thyme Out" It's the one with the big Lemingtons ( although they had all gone ) but there was lots of yummy cakes to choose from - The adults chose delicious scones, jam & cream ( am imagining Jordy's first taste of scone - hee hee ) & of course we had to take pix...maybe it's just as well you can't see the cakes..would be too cruel.The boys opted for icecream after their swim - as big as those St Kilda ones!
Soaking up the sun - hard to believe Southland had so much snow just a few weeks ago - so much that the roof of the Sports Stadium collpapsed.
No surfing waves but Finn & his friend had great fun keeping cool & had cool mud fights.
Jude & I had a lovely walk along the shore - Riverton in the sun with my Family...a perfect day.
