The weekends here have been the best! Karen, David, Lauren and Helena arrive Friday evenings in time for some wine and catching up on our weeks. Then there's the whole weekend to explore the area together or play on the beach. One weekend we went caving, another time we hiked up and went boogie boarding down the sand dunes! We've hiked the coastal trail together and the 'bush' walk twice. Karen, Helena and I even had an art day last Saturday, visiting Matakana's markets, a pottery studio, an artist co-op and a winery with a garden sculpture walk.
Last weekend the Duffy family; Karen, Paul, Leo and Nicole also joined us at the White's bach (beach house) and all six kids camped out in the three room tent! Having kids their own ages to play with has been absolutely wonderful for Liam and Rory! Having adults for Nigel and I to hang out with has been a real treat! Being a part of this group has made us feel less like tourists and more like holidaying Kiwis!
