Playcentre is back!


Mummy and I have officially joined the Riverdowns Playcentre! Yetti gets to come too. It's a 10 minute walk from our house so it's very convenient. We go on Monday and Wednesday mornings! I especially love the swings and playing outside!

The Blue Lake - The Polynesian Spa





Aunty Sarah recommended we go to the Polynesian Spa. After Mummy tried on nearly every pair of togs in the store, we got to go swimming! I loved being able to walk by myself in the pool and using the drinking fountain. Daddy even took me down the water slide!

The Blue Lake - Playground






I spent most of my holiday requesting to go to the playground! I convinced all my toys to ask Mummy and Daddy too! Bubby Lulu seemed to want to go the most but Arnold and Yetti got to go on the swing (my absolute favourite thing), slide and the trampoline (my second favourite thing) lots too!

The Blue Lake - Boating on Lake Tarawera






Mummy, Daddy and I took a water taxi across to the hot water beach on Lake Tarawera and then got to soak in a hot water stream! I was asleep on the way over but I loved driving the boat on the way back!

The Blue Lake - The Luge






Mummy and Daddy took me for a fun adventure on the gondola, luge and chairlift. When I was asked who was the better driver I answered "Mummy" and when I was asked who went the fastest I answered "Daddy". Daddy tried out all the luge tracks while Mummy and I stuck to the scenic one which was still pretty fast!

The Blue Lake - Swimming and Biking






We spent a lot of time swimming in the lake and going biking. We didn't do a lot of walking because of Daddy's ankle! We biked in the Redwood Forrest and down to the Green Lake as well as using our bikes to get to the best beach on the the Blue Lake.

The Blue Lake - Caravaning!








We returned to the Blue Lake for our yearly visit and as usual we ended up extending our stay! Mummy and Daddy were so impressed how well I slept in the caravan that they're thinking of downsizing significantly and becoming trailer trash!

Daddy had entered himself in a sprint triathlon that Lance Armstrong was supposed to be doing. However, once he heard Daddy had entered he pulled out! He had no need to be scared though as Daddy sprained his ankle on the run and didn't finish! Poor Daddy!
