Did we just have an awesome weekend or what?!?!?! YES!!!!
The pics won't do it justice, who wants to get a camera/phone out when you're having a great time? I did my best though
 |
| Special Adults dinner on the night we arrived. The kids got KFC in Waihi, and we held out to have a late night dinner together after the babies were all fast asleep. Definitely worth the wait |
 |
| On our first morning Daddy Joe took the kids to the park for a while (3 hours!) while I cleaned up and went to the shops for a bit. By the time they got back the Leones were in the pool and of course the Hekes just had to jump in right there and then |
 |
| I took Seth back up to the room for a sleep and Daddy Joe kept the girls in the pools....for another 3 hours!!! |
 |
| Loving the cuzzy time |
 |
| Fancy dinner at an Italian Restaurant at the Mt. thanks to Aunty Natty |
 |
| Our apartment was great....on the fifth floor which was a little scary with the kids (and the deck!), but definitely somewhere we'd stay again for a grabone special |
 |
| Thank goodness the kids all slept well each night, Seth was great in his portacot and once the girls finally petered out, we didn't hear from them until about 7:30am each morning...at which point they bounced out of bed excited for what the day would bring |
 |
| After church (Otumoetai Ward) we headed down to Memorial Park (Humpty Dumpty Park) for sammies before we started the long haul home |
 |
| Where Grandma Ormsby used to live! |
 |
| Oh, and of course we had to stop in at the cemetery to visit Grandad Wattie. It was the first time the children have been there so they were excited to walk around and sing our special 'families' song |
Definitely going to try and make it an annual holiday spot for us. We could have done with 4 or 5 nights to be honest.....3 was good, but we just loved it so much we could have easily spent more time holidaying at Grandies old 'stomping ground'
There's nothing like sunny days, pools, shared dinners, evenings at the park with family!!!! What a wonderful memory, and hopefully yearly tradition for our family
Cool pics! We're definitely keen to make it a yearly tradition :) Count us in x
