Josie hit double digits this year so since it was such a monumental occasion we offered her the choice of a party or a trip to Auckland with a friend to go to Rainbow's End - New Zealand's biggest theme park. She chose to take her good friend Tessa and go to Rainbow's End. On her actual birthday we had a quiet celebration at home with the family. Her birthday fell on a school holiday day so we got to hang out all day - we had presents at breakfast then went to lunch at the Marsden Village cafe and ended the day by having the Sheppards over for dinner and cake.

We got up really early to make the 7 am flight to Auckland because we wanted to be sure and be there for the opening of Rainbow's End. We dropped our bags at Kate and Ant's and had coffee and breakfast with Abi, then it was off. Thank you so much Abi, Kate and Ant for letting us stay with you and for the use of your car!!

| This was the only ride that both Tessa and I refused - see the video below. Josie loved it! |
