Arriving in Whitianga and New Year's Eve in Hahei

On the road again!




These girls are happy to be out of the car! We stayed at a great place in Whitianga.

Waitetoko and Taupo

On the road again - heading to Waitetoko. Isn't New Zealand beautiful??

Ready to Jump at Bully Point
I went first so I could be ready to rescue anyone with brain freeze when they landed.

Time for the Bungy!! Ali didn't weigh enough to bungy alone so she and Katie did the swing.

Same with these two - they are heading down to their swing now.

Josie being pulled into the boat after her bungy jump.

Ali and Katie swinging.

Meggie coming back after her jump.

Ready to go - E looking very nervous!!

Josie is ready to jump. You can't see how high it is from this photo!!

Back at home it's time to bring in the laundry.

And play some cards.

And go for a walk - we were annoying the photographer.


Girls and Bach.

Then we all went cherry picking in the orchard.



They were divine!








Then it was time to warm up for the annual Boxing Day Cricket match.
