This weekend the kids beloved Poppa came down for a flying visit. We were all so excited to see daddy/poppa that we took a day off work and school to spend what little time we could with him. It was a wonderful visit, from the moment we picked him up and whisked him to Mcdonalds for breakfast! We visited the brand new 'bike park' in Napier, and the kids are already asking to go back. It was nice and quiet being 9am on a school day, and we loved the working traffic lights, the roundabout and the stop signs, giving the kids a real chance to practice road rules in a totally safe environment. What a cool place.
Then it was home to do some drawings for Oma, who couldn't make it and the kids were missing. We had a nice afternoon, finishing up with a quick walk to the park with Poppa while I made dinner (in the quiet!!! Love Poppa for that!!) and family movie night, snuggling up to watch Shrek 2. 
The next day, Poppa and I took the kids to their swiming lessons and then to their school fair. Home for lunch and a couple of rounds of Skip-bo with the whole family joining in finished off a lovely visit. The kids just adore their poppa, who plays charades with them and counts their skipping for hours.
But our grandparent time was not over yet! On Sunday afternoon, we all headed out to McCafe to celebrate Granma's birthday (and Uncle Paul's too!). The older kids took off to the playground, leaving Luke to have a few more special kodak moments, this time with his great Nana and his beloved Granma and Grandad. A weekend of family. Love. Love. Love!
