More Pukehina Fun

Daddy had to go back to work but Mummy, Lucy and I all got to stay at Pukehina for another week of fun in the sun. We enjoyed playing in the shell garden...



and the paddling pool...





and on the slippery slide...




although Lucy did get a bit confused and tried to blow up the slide...



We had fun with balls - especially throwing them into the prickly garden...



and of course there was more ice-cream to enjoy. Check out what Lucy looks like after finishing off an ice-cream!





Lucy loves morning and afternoon tea times and "cheers" with great vigour!




Aunty Paula and Nicholas came back for the last few days we were there and we kids all had fun on the beach.







Followed, of course, by ice-cream!

Jan 1 - Jan 11 '09

Continuing on from the end of '08, we spent the first couple of weeks of '09 at Pukehina with Nana and Granddad.

Lucy continued to enjoy watching the view ... and if there was a penguin sprinkler to chew on while watching, then that was an added bonus!







I spent every day in the water with daddy, playing "creeping creeping" with the waves and jumping the whoppas and the double whammies.



Lucy enjoyed her first ice-cream on the deck. It took her a little while to get the hang of it - but as you'll see later, she's a pretty fast learner.






Lucy finally fits the dresses that Aunty Paula gave her when she was born, and isn't this one cute!




Nicholas was still around to play with for a couple of days - and we all managed to fit in a photo frame for one second...



Nicholas also experienced Nana's homemade ice-cream, although he had a little beggar (or "scavenger" as Granddad calls her) hanging around. Lucy eventually got her own and, as you can see, she has learnt how to eat ice-creams!!






Kate and Hannah came to play with us for a day and Kate and I had great fun on the slippery slide...





Lucy thought the slippery slide was good for rolling balls down!



Some days were pretty full on and every now and again I just had to stop and rest my head on the couch...



Daddy took us to a strawberry farm one morning. I like raspberries and blueberries best but Lucy looooved the strawberries!





After the trip to the strawberry farm, Daddy had to go back to work so Nana and Granddad came to meet us to take Mummy, Lucy and I back to Pukehina. This is me waiting for them...

Day sleeps

I pretty much gave up my day sleeps during the holidays, but every now and again I found a spot too relaxing to resist a little catnap...


The last few days of 2008...

were spent at Pukehina. We had great fun -

feeding the chickens...



riding the bike...



eating...



bathing...




playing with Nicholas...



doing the 6.15 nudey run down to the bottom of the section and back...



practising surfing...



catching up with old friends...



looking cute...




enjoying the view...



and, of course, playing with the trains...
