We ended the summer with a bang - our annual camping trip with friends. This year we missed Milena, Noah and Amelia who have moved to Auckland, but we look forward to seeing them at our mid-winter Christmas near Taupo. The Nimmo family have joined the camping crew and we loved adding a few more boys to the mix - especially boys as sweet as theirs!
As usual the Morrisons had a different tent, but I think this one is a keeper. We won't know for sure until next year as Meggie sadly wasn't with us this summer, she stayed behind in Wellington due to rowing. However this was the easiest tent yet to erect and definitely the biggest so ladies and gentlemen I think we have a winner!

| We love the little Greytown pool but this year it was a bit cooler so the kids didn't stay in quite as long as last year. |
 |
| The grill-masters hard at work. |
 |
| Cricket at sunset - family style! |

 |
| After their turns bowling and at bat Ellie and Ruth decided they'd rather sit and watch than do any fielding. |
 |
| And just like that it's time to take down the tent and go home - Katie helping Daddy get the job done. |
