Easter at Waitetoko

We always love going to Waitetoko for Easter -the weather can be all over the place but it is so relaxing and there is always somewhere beautiful to go for a walk or swim. We missed Katie this year as she headed off to Easter Camp with the church youth group, but the rest of us had a great time.

The Easter church service was great despite the fact that we all showed up at the wrong time. The priest didn't arrive until we had almost finished with our own homegrown service led by various members of the congregation - I did the bible reading :). The sign on the door had the wrong time posted on it!! Thankfully a few people stayed behind to hear the priest but as most of us had already been there an hour quite a few (including us) left. We had to go because Katie and Nicky were driving up from Wellington so that Katie and Meggie could do their delayed parachute jumps!

Ellie loved the company cat.

No telling what Dad is saying here.

But this is super sweet.

And she's off!! She's going to be the first one out.

There's my girl!!

Feet up for landing.

She loved it!

Then it was time for a swim at Bulli Point.

And finally Daddy carves our Easter lamb roast that Katie and Nicky brought for us -so yum!

Final morning relaxing before it's time to head back to Welly.
