Sometimes I am struck by the fact that we live in New Zealand. So much of life is the same no matter where you live that sometimes I forget that we moved to the other side of the world. Then we have days like today when we do really cool Kiwi things like tramping through the bush in our bare feet to find a waterfall.
As Playgroups have finished for the summer, we met at one of the group's home today and the kids had great fun playing in the garden while we took it in turns to supervise or drink coffee. Actually the others took turns, I got to just sit there and have them look after Ethan. It was great! The house is on a steep 2 acre section. They have put in steps through the bush so that you can walk down to this waterfall. I was a bit dubious as to whether or not I would make it but Ethan loved it and didn't need to be carried at all on the way up or down so it was worth it. There is nothing like squelching through mud in your bare feet. Some of the kids stripped off and played in the water and wondered back up to the house totally naked. I would have loved to do that! Luckily it hasn't been too humid today so the steep climb back up was manageable.
Tonight we are in for a treat as well. We are going out to a restaurant in the city with the Bundys to celebrate Mr Bundy's birthday.
