As I write we are coming to the end of our time in Tairua. We have loved the library and harbour area. The water has so many different colours, lots to look at every day! We had quite a few rainy days here and were glad to see the sun yesterday!
Keith and I celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary and my 37th birthday this week. I'm not too keen on getting a whole lot closer to 40- but I really have little to do that number! We had fish 'n chips on the beach, dessert on the beach and went fishing on the beach- we love the beach! Luke managed to fall in the water just before we were to go out for dinner so we ate in for our anniversary- cheaper that way- and more memorable!
For my birthday it looks like I got a surf rod for fishing this year! Last night I almost caught a fish! The kids love the chasing seagulls part of fishing- they will eat the bait off the hook as you cast! Hopefully we'll figure out how to bait our hooks better and catch some free food along the way- I hope the kids like to eat the fish....
Last weekend we spent 2 days with the Taylor family and went lots of fun places around here with them! Luke loved having a "big brother" to hang out with and pull him on his boogie board. Ellie and Meg enjoyed their time with the girls so much- it was like spending time with family!
We plan to leave here on Monday and go back to the "mount" for a night. We will then go to Ohope for 2.5 months to rent a house on the beach! We are so excited to live on the water and hear the waves! The beach is a nice beach for the kids to play on and the area is quiet- not too busy. Keith and Luke will be able to fish there, Ellie and Meg can collect shells and I look forward to running on the beach!
We are missing the Canadian Thanksgiving here- no turkey this year! Love to all at home.
