My Kidless weekend :)

This weekend Billy has gone to Wainuiomata with the Rovers :)  Daniel is with his dad as per usual the weekends.  So I am kid free :)

Friday night
As soon as I dropped Billy off with his mates here in Napier I took a 3 km walk along the Rotary walkway between Pettigrew Arena Taradale and the expressway Napier, New Zealand

Upon arriving home after that I turned up the radio utube videos real loud and sang and had a good old evening.  It was also quite neat as my sis and I (via Facebook etc) researched where the old family farm originally belonging to the first of my ancestors to come out to New Zealand of my family and then my grandfather lived and owned.

Saturday 
I had an epic 17.5 km walk between Westshore and Bayview

walked right past the Hawkes Bay airport

lights for the airport?

all eyes on me 

felt like a shepherd a few times

unsure what this is

where i stopped for a late lunch before heading back to the car  along a shorter route - Id already walked 11.6

 returning back to the car

once Id done it I took a quick dip in the sea before deciding to go home for dinner

Sunday 
Im teaching Sunday school in the morning and Billy gets home in the afternoon Im hoping for another shorter walk

My Journal - week ending 22nd November

the highlights of this week both included my Keas :)

On Saturday all the Keas in the Waiapu Zone (Hastings, Npier and Gisborne) went out to Weka.  I LOVE that place apart from the bridge

weka side gives a good view of the bridge thou

each kea group where in charge of an activity I was in charge of collecting pine cones which in turn get sold and raise $$ so more accommodation and the like can be raised 

LOVED how Billy came and helped - hes in the black tshirt|
hes part of Rover scouts and they made sure the Keas didnt float away down stream :)

 NB the above photos werent all taken by me thanks to those who took them

 On Thursday night I took my Keas to Ahuriri for a bike/scooter ride and then play at the play ground there.  Again Billy helped :)  Daniel also got to come along although hes a cub he comes on Kea nights too - hes my son after all :)

the highlight of this week has been when I took Daniel and his friend from school to Sk8 Zone

Daniel reckoned being up here would have freaked me out lol - I dont do heights

Thursday
Daniels birthday

so happy his big sisters parcel arrived first thing this morning 

As is the norm for my kids as they are growing up I allow them to have the day off school on their birthday.  While Billy was with his reader/writer studying Daniel and I went to Anderson Park so that Daniel could ride on his scooter that he got from me :)

he also practised using his new bat and ball from Billy - all while wearing his helmet from him too lol 

when he hits the ball he has a strong batting arm - this where the ball ended up (he wanted me to take this shot)

After lunch we went to the Sunken Gardens in town too :)  We  also went to Opossum World (only I didnt get any photos)

At 315 pm a friend came over for a couple of hours to play :)  We were going to all go to Skate zone however its been closed this week due to rain - well go next week instead 

Billy kindly let them watch a movie on his laptop
