Finally spring is here!

So it's almost May and it's the first weekend that feels like spring has actually arrived. It's only about 10 or 15c in the sunshine but that at least means (almost) all the snow and ice has finally melted and K & E can get out on their bikes. We had 2 gorgeous sunny days and used them well to get out in the forest and ride about. Hoping it's gonna be as good a summer as has just wound up in NZ so we can get lotsa camping, swimming and bike rides in.

E suited and booted...spring gear, believe it or not!

K checking out the re-emerging bugs like...

...this little spotted fella. 

Forest buds. 

Adventuring

So we were wandering randomly in a forest we're not been to before that we arrived at by getting lost...and we ran into some friends! Awesome!. They even had sausages to spare! :)

K on top of the world.

Done and dusted

Well after another 2 weekends of birthday parties that's all of the Thomas family's birthdays done for another year. K had his actual birthday last week but as Daddy had a 4 hour long Finnish exam on the same day the kiddy party was today. So we're all lego'd and candied out. Thanks for all the presents and love to all.

Big hugs and happy birthdays to

Ashlee and Mandy

No prizes for guessing  what K got lots of for his birthday.

Yah! Kiwi books rock!

Choc overload

...unfortunately little J's Dad; big J, claimed it back. 

Cheers Shenton crew!

Laden.

Poised.

Focused.

Glow in the dark lollypop anyone? Daddy thinks he would have loved some of these back in his all night trance party in a field days.
