I ws going to try and get these up a lot earlier but I suppose sometime is better than not at all. After the communion we took a couple weeks off and did some day trips, and even stayed in Rotorua for a night. Here we are at Omana.
Omana Beach.
We've planned trip to Tiri Tiri Matangi Island for Dad and the two oldest. Mama didn't feel like traveling on a boat or walking far....so she wisely stayed home with the youngest two.
Tiri Tiri Matangi is a bird sanctuary. So Amelia was definitely in her element.
Talking to the guides and asking lots of questions.
Not sure what bird is in this picture, probably just a Tui.
We tried out Kiwi Valley Farm, nice place, but not sure if we will go back again. We were met with an annoying goat who wouldn't leave us alone for awhile....found out that this little guy is known for this. I was hungry though and wanting to eat lunch! You can't eat with a goat who jumps up on the table!!
So we abandoned lunch for awhile so some of the kids could hold guinea pigs, and feed a rat... :P
Finally we ate lunch!! :)
Owen liked getting on the tractors.
But probably the highlight of the whole excursion was the pony/horse rides. All of the children enjoyed this - especially Owen!
Aaron..
Amelia
Look at Keith on such a BIG horse!
It was funny when Owen had turn. The horse stopped for whatever reason and Owen said, "Go! Go Fast!" It made my day to hear him say that.
