Weekend family fun - bush walking & gardening. It was a pretty gorgeous weekend which meant a great opportunity for us to get outside and appreciate nature. Firstly we headed off for a bush walk to the Waitakeres where we squeezed James into the backpack for what could be his last time, damn, he is nearly 14 kilos now which is not great for Chris' back!!
Still it is a lot quicker that way rather than walking with him ... he tends to get distracted and pick up bark, stones and dawdle in the bush. Very cute though.

Then while I went off to do my radio show Chris set himself up to do some gardening with James "helping". His idea of helping was to throw some rocks, massacre a few plants with Chris trying to gently persuade him to dig in the soil rather than the lawn in between kicking the ball around. Oh well I am sure it will get better with time. Here is a picture of the gardeners resting!
All of a sudden the weekend was over and back to the week. James caught up with his mates Ruby and Amelia where they had a ball playing with a blackboard and chalk - not sure how much chalk actually ended up on the board as there seemed to be a lot on each of the kids! That'll do for now, touch base again soon. Camille x
