Day Fourteen - Plane trip back

This morning we got up early, had breakfast, and headed to the airport! Our plane was meant to leave and 9:50am so we had to be there two hours before! Auntie Pauline drove us to the airport, and when we got there she sadly said goodbye!! We were very disappointed to say good-bye, but all god things must come to an end! When we looked at the board which had all the flights on it, it said that our flight was to leave at 12:25!! We thought that was strange, so we checked our luggage in and asked the lady there! She said she didn't know why it was delayed, but she did give us a $15 food voucher, since we will be waiting for another 2 hours!! We were very disapointed because we could of stayed at Auntie Paulines for another two hours, but she had already gone!! I then texted auntie Judith and Grandma to tell them that our flight was delayed, so we hoped they got the message!! We wandered around the shops then had mini pizza's for lunch!! It was soon time to board our plane, and we were very relieved because the 2 hours went extremely slowly!! The flight back to Auckland was good and Grandma and grandpa and Auntie Judith were there to pick us up!!

Day Thirteen - Kangaroo's

This morning we rode on some bikes to another playground/park, quite close to the house, and played there until lunchtime! Watched a Family DVD of their time in Holland and then in the afternoon I played with the Badminton bats with Aidan. I also got to feed Fat Albert, who is a bird that sits on your hand and eats seeds! We went out to a restaurant for dinner and I had Chicken Nuggets and Chips, and for dessert I had a chocolate sauce covered ice-cream!!
Saw heaps of Kangaroo's while we were driving home! One even crossed a main road right in front of us!! They are quite big ones!!

Day Twelve - River Rocks Park

This morning we went to River Rocks Park! It's an awesome park and it has this massive climbing thing! I have some pictures of me on it! I climbed to the top!!
The flying fox was good as well but not as good as the One tree hill one in Auckland, New Zealand! We mucked around at the park for the rest of the morning, then had lunch and I played on the PlayStation again! We had this yummy Corn Beef for dinner as well!

Day Eleven - Bye-Bye Jonty!

This morning we got up, had Breakfast, and started packing! EVERYONE was busy packing, or had something to do because we had to check out of the apartment at 10:00am!!! Auntie Pauline brought her car with the trailer, and Uncle Peter brought his car, both to pick us up! Auntie Pauline brought the trailer because we needed the extra room because Uncle Peter and Auntie Belinda had their suitcases as well!! We drove to Auntie Pauline's House and then had lunch!! We took some photo's but then Uncle Peter, Auntie Belinda and Jonty all had to go! Played PlayStation for the rest of the afternoon and then we had a yummy roast chicken for dinner (cooked by Auntie Pauline). After dinner Anna, Taryn and Emily all did a concert for us!

Day Ten - Shopping!!

This morning Mum said that we were able to go spend some of our money at the local shopping centre! I brought:

  • Some new Rip Curl board shorts
  • This cute boggle eyed Koala pen
  • 10 postcards for $3.00!!

I now have $2 left!! My cousin (Aidan) stayed another night with us as well! Jonty, Uncle Peter and Auntie Belinda came over again, and we went for a swim! I played with Jonty again! He's so cute!! I got to go down the slide with him as well!! We went for a walk in the afternoon and we stopped at Mc Donalds for an ice-cream! You wouldn't believe how much Jonty likes ice-cream, it's amazing!! We got some dinner from Red Rooster and then gave Jonty a bath!! Everyone soon went home and went to bed (except us and Aidan!)!

Day Nine - Jonty's cute!

Today we got all the Schwerzels to come round to our Appartment in the morning! We went for a swim first, had lunch, and then mucked around! I played qith Jonty for most of the afternoon, he is just an adorable bundle of joy!! We needed a bit of fresh air, so we went for a walk to the mall and brought an ice-cream to keep us going!! We gave Jonty a sleep in the stroller while we were walking!!
Aidan (my cousin) stayed the night with us because he goes to a private school so he is still on holidays!! Tomorrow we will just see Uncle Peter, Auntie Belinda and Jonty, and we get to go shopping!!

Day Eight - Picnic in the wind!!

Today we saw Jonty (our cousin who is 16 months old) for the first time!! He is so cute!! We had Auntie Pauline and her family come, Chris and his family, a family that Uncle Peter and Auntie Belinda know very well and Helen, Naomi and Louise, who all come from Holland!!
We went outside (in the wind) and had a BBQ (barbecue)!

Facts of the day:
  • The Table that my Dad was sitting on tipped over because there was too much weight on one side, in fact there was no weight on the other side!! My Dad ended up having his lunch all over him!!
  • Helen's sunglasses survived a 30 story drop! They didn't have many scratches on them and they weren't broken one bit!!

It was my Dad's Birthday today so we gave him his presents as well!!
