Day #7 and #8

Day #7 was awesome. After the yucky (he he) fish breakfast, we all headed out to Raglan beach. First we ate lunch at the wharf before heading to the main beach. Gorgeous as ever. It's the middle of winter and it was absolutely clear. There was some slight wind that was FREEZING cold but it was beautiful. We took some awesome pictures and can't wait for you all to see them. But our kids were so cold. Charlotte borrowed her Uncle Jonathan's beliclava (sp??) and loved it but got a good workout carrying the kids back to the car. We then had a fun birthday party at the church institute. The school holidays are on so Ian (Wade's father is the director) is able to use the institute for family functions. Cool! And the food was SO good. I pigged out. PIGGED out. Thankfully I went on a walk that night to make me feel better.
Day #8 was just plain ol' relaxing. Just went to a lot of shops we haven't been in awhile and then bought the stuff we've missed to take home for us at Pak N Save. Had a family feed, again, for Rex who left for Utah last night. He should be or almost in Utah now. So there it is! More journal to add to the blog! : D
