Home from Holiday

These photos were taken from the balcony of our Hotel room. Our children were lucky enough to view this wonderful rainbow from the Hot pools.

Now, no holiday is ever complete without a round of mini golf!

Cody, tiring his best to combat the extreme heat!

Observatory cafe, and below Andrew and I outside the cafe, almost getting blown down the hill!!

Our holiday at Tekapo was wonderful. Laugh out loud at having our own space though! Our two youngest turned up each morning for a shower, used our nice fresh towels before we had a chance to, left their dirty clothes on the floor for me to gather up- just like at home!! After our day outings and tea (we ate out every night-BLISS!!) Aimee and Cam would come back to our hotel , Cam would full the huge bath with water and enjoy a soak while Aimee took full charge of the T.V remote!! Again, just like home. Cody was happy in his cabin at the motor camp, and enjoyed the time the other two were not squeezed in with him I think!

Now I wont bore anyone with details , check out our the snaps above.

Away for a bit of R & R

Tomorrow we are taking a wee holiday in Tekapo. Will be lovely to get away for a few days. Andrew and I are staying in a lovely motel and the children are staying across the road at the motor camp!! Now that makes us sound really mean doesn't it. The thing is though that tiring to find wheelchair accommodation is not always easy at the best of times, and this holiday was a spur of the moment one (ours often are, no good planing too far ahead in our house cause you just never know what hurdles may crop up!!). Anyway the motel could do the wheelchair chair unit but were otherwise full- and the wheelchair units only ever seem to cater for two! The only other place's with wheelchair access were booked out. Anyway the children were keen on the camp at the lake edge, so to cut a long story short that is where they will be sleeping! Will be a funny kind of a family get away, but might be nice to all have our own bit of space.

Will be back Monday to let you know how it went!!

In the mean time check this out, This is where we plan (look at that- we do plan!!) to be Waitangi Weekend, my very very clever and very very busy cousins daughter has organised this event and it has turned into a huge one! Should be heaps of fun- even for us oldies!!
