The last two days of 2018 did not give us time to dwell on achievements or losses as we filled it with adventures, family, friends and fun!
A swim at high tide with Sandy and a visit from Dad.
Denis (our neighbour) all decked out after a successful haul of pipi picking (small shellfish dug out from the sand at low tide and about 50-100 cms if water)
31st December, 2018, out to sea at 7am to catch the dawn fish (that actually didn’t happen) but it was a great morning to be out on the ocean, one of our favourite places, with a Rod dangling over the side.
Back on the beach just before 1.00pm (almost to plan) boat wash, shower and Russ and Sue went into Orewa town to see Mary (mum) and do some last minute shopping for New Year’s Eve.
Returning to our busy cottage by 5pm – time for Russ to have a rest!
The boys had cooked an early BBQ for all to eat
And a card game was in Process!
Time to get ready for the Mexican night New Year Eve Party!
The girls are ready!
The boys not quite so! A packet of Mexican corn chips taped to chest!! Oh and a hat!
The guitar came out (Jax friend Aaron) and a great time was had by all before heading to the hall at 11pm to dance in the New Year Mexican style! Well most of the time the hat stayed on – just a little tricky when giving new year hugs and kisses! (The odd tilt)
And we awake to a brand new Year of fun and adventures!
All who wander are not Lost girls
