Life is like a playground!

Friday 7th Novembre the kids and I took the car and drove down to the kids grandparents in Bulls, and of course we had a stop in Whanganui at the big playground! Such a cool playground based on children storys. The big dinosaur slide from ”The Flintstone” was very popular! There is also a train going around in a forest with a big castel and pirat ship.

The main reson we went down to Bulls was Stellas birthday party, Stella is the kids second kusin, she turnd 5. The party was at Inflateble World, a place filled with different type of bounce castels, in Palmerston North. The kids loved it, acually went crazy.. they wanted to bounce on everything at the same time. Sacha was running around with Stella and the other kids, Lauchlan did his own thing so I stayed with him and grandma Marie had an eye on Sacha.

After 2 hours of bouncing, pizza and fizzy drinks it was time to go. The best thing with kids birthday partys, they start 11.00am so we had the whole afternon to do more things. We drove to Shannon, about 20 minutes from Palmerston North, to visit Owlcatraz, a Native bird park. We got a very intresting guided tour and got to pet a Weka and see Morepork owls in the dark. Then we walked up to the farm of Owlcatraz. Ther we saw a big Kune kune pig, donkeys, ostrich, alpackas and deer. All of this animals we got to pet if we wanted to. But the best thing, the kids thought was that they had a big blue Thomas train were we had a ride. Lauchlan loves Thomas!

On Sunday 9th we went to the A&P Show, Agricultural and Pastoral Show, something we all enjoyed a lot! Animals, tractors, shows, tivoli. They had everything even perfect weather! And of course airbrush tattoo! Sacha, Marie and me got one. So no my tattoo f New Zealand on my leg is a fake and starting to fade now. To bad because I kind of liked it. So one day it will be a real one!

 

Ashely and Ash bought a new horse truck, so instead of three horses they can now have six with them. Now they don't have to bring the truck and a horse float to a race! It’s a very nice truck! And it have everything you need. Now the right loggo is on the truck to!

Last week Diva one of our horses had her foal. A beautiful baby boy named Kahuna Bravo ME. Everything went good and now we have to colt foals at the farm. Kahuna Alpha ME is the one to the left and Kahuna Bravo ME is the one to the right. It's going to be so much fun to see them grow. We have Alphas full brother Moon and Bravos aunt Divo here at the farm and they are very nice horses!

Shantalle, the kids and I went to Taupo this weekend to pick up our new puppy Dennis. The smallest and cutest little puppy ever, his not bigger than a kitten. Lauchlan and Sacha loves him and so do I. Before I came here they had a dog called Frank, the same type as Dennis but he passed away. So they renamed Dennis to Frank or Frankie as I call him.
