Holiday part 2

After the weekend we went up to Auckland harbour and took a hour cruise around the harbour through the Maritime Museum (very reasonable).  The kids enjoyed it very much!

 Waiting for our boat ride.

 

 We passed this huge cruise ship.

 One of the crew offered to take a picture of us for us. :D

 Coming towards the harbour bridge.

 Me and Keith.

 Amelia struck up a conversation with one of the crew.  I like how my children are quick to converse with others whether they are young or old.

 Afterwards we stopped at the American Shop and Daddy went and got ice creams from Mcdonalds for the kids

We then went up Mt Wellington since we were in the area andwalked around the crater.

Holiday part 1

I was going to post something a lot sooner than now but life is busy!  I forgot. :D

Anyways, I'll continue where we left off....our holiday!  Which was awhile ago now. We decided on staying in Auckland and do a bit of touring around.  It worked out very well and the kids enjoyed themselves.  Our first stop was Butterfly Creek.  Aaron has been wanting to go to Dinosaur kingdom for awhile now.

Here is Owen in the butterfly house

My crazy children.

They are growing too fast. :(

The children took turns feeding a bearded dragon live wiggly gross worms. They thought it was great!

The alligators were coming up to the glass to get a closer look.

"Mmmmm.....those fingers look yummy."

Aaron is wiggling a tooth here....oops.

Yeah for dino's!

Our paleontologist in the making!

Our children.

Keith practicing his steering skills

I'm not going to even imagine what it will be like when he gets to driving age... :D

The sleepy-wouldn't-move-for-us-or-do-anything-for-us croc.

The other one (I think this is Scar) who was willing to give us a show.

I now understand the story of the five little monkeys swinging in the tree...Croc's do "snap" and make a large popping sound when they do very neat.
