jane’s birthday day so she spent most of the day doing school work although she did manage to meet up with chums in the morning
esther and kezia were both busy with different things so i took Andrew and Katie on a tour of the north of auckland
we dodged the wild weather (mostly) and took in Helensville, Matakana, Morris and James pottery, Charlie’s ice cream and the Parry Kauri museum tree.
late afternoon we were all back at home and jane opened her birthday presents and ate the amazing Katie/Kezia cake
after that there was some final packing up then we drove to the airport to despatch Andrew and Katie
