friends

i had a very nice time at the airport last night watching people arrive through this door.  it’s fascinating to watch peoples’ reactions.  and at around 1am our friends andy, gill, adam and luke arrived. we had a good drive home and they headed to bed.

this morning everyone was up fairly early having had various amounts of sleep.

the day started with various technologies (including trying to type my long wifi password in to ipods) before andy, gill and i went to pick up their hire car. 

Meanwhile adam and luke and esther and kezia went swimming.

then we drove over to Long Bay for a picnic.  It was incredibly windy but we found shelter behind some trees.

once we’d run out of beach fun we headed back home to regroup before driving in to Auckland to look at a couple of shops and have an ice cream

we met up with various church chums at 4.45pm and went in to the glow stick party

that finished around 7.45 so we had an emergency mcdonalds before heading home for beds.

here are some fruit trees on the way to the arena where the light party was held
