today started with christmas skyping to family – the time difference meant that our boxing day morning was still their christmas which worked out great.
after some domesticing about we headed down to the beach for the girls to try out their new body boards
the beach was absolutely packed (by NZ standards) but we found a parking space and all was well. jane went in the sea with the girls whilst i sat and melted in the sun on the grassy area upsides the beach and watched the world go by
after the beach we went to a friend’s house for a BBQ and had a really great evening there
so another scorching christmas day here in NZ
i’ve no idea what this suspicious fin-like object in the background is in this picture. i’m just glad i was on the shore when i took the photo !
tomorrow is designated as another family adventure day so we’re going to head north again.
take care djek
