Friday started the weekend with a Holiday Party at a Thai Restaurant for all the Zumba Classes at the Center. We laughed our way through family stories as we celebrated staying fit.
After an intense zumba class for Nancy, these little piggies went up to market on Saturday where they bumped into neighbors and walking club buddies while stopping for a "cuppa" in the corner Coffee Shop. Several errands later they collapsed on their mini couch for a think on how to attach a make-shift screen for the dining room window. Velcro dots --- flexible screening ---- Voila! A pretty awesome screen!
Now onto dinner at a teacher friend's home. David was in for a new adventure. The husband's hobby is bees. --- Yes --- David put on the full bee keeper garb and examined the hive with our new friend. I wish I had my camera - words just can't do justice to this one. A zillion questions and answers later we sat down to a scrumptious dinner with their whole family. We left with a jar of their honey.
Sunday was 77 degrees --- a perfect day for exploring the North Shore.
Yes David got his tootsies wet! Notice Rangitoto Mountain in the background. These beaches are more for swimming and have bigger waves. These are bays right on the Pacific Ocean.
Yes I walked in the water also ---- I guess it's time to get out the swim suits --- the weather seems to have changed overnight.
A long view of Takapuna Beach. This photo doesn't do justice and the beach was actually crowded by New Zealand standards. We traveled up this coast all the way to Browns Bay, another very popular swimming beach.
It never fails to amaze me how different all the coast lines are on the North Island. Our little Howick Beach has low water levels even at high tide, although people still swim at high tide. It is great for playing in and kayaking.
We have much to be thankful for.
Happy Thanksgiving All
