Thanks Dianna

One of the craft projects Dianna brought for the kids was making the little pom pom creatures with jiggly eyes.  Now that she left, the kids are finding creative ways to use the jiggly eyes.  Thanks!

Auntie Dianna’s Visit

June 16,2016

Wow, Ellie and Cooper were so spoiled and enjoyed every minute of it!  Auntie Dianna did everything with the kids; crafts, climbing wall, MOTAT museum and shopping.  

Trains

While Cooper doesn’t play with his trains as much as he use too, he loves building the train track to go as far as possible.  This tracked started in the bed room and went almost down the whole hallway.

Suprise

June 5, 2016

Poor Cooper hasn’t had the best luck at the beach, first the jelly fish and now this!

Cooper didn’t want to get to wet this day and was staying out of the surf.  He decided that building sand castles was the plan and ask me if I would help him.  Our first castle was over come from the surf and quickly disappeared.  As we were digging up sand for the second one, I noticed something moving in the sand.  It was right next to Cooper’s hand.  He noticed it a second later and quickly moved away.  Then I used our shovel and moved some sand.  With the water washing away a little more sand we caught a glimpse of a crap.  That was all Cooper need to see, as he went running and screaming up the beach to the safety of Mummy.  He wouldn’t even come down when all the kids were looking at it.

Climbing Wall

Cooper is finally getting the climbing bug!  He can climb a quarter to half way up and then loves to belay down the wall spinning around at the end.

Sunset walk on the beach

A few weeks later we went back to Mt. Maunganui to visit our friends again.   We took a walk on the beach at sunset and I was able to take these pictures.

Beach Boy

Cooper is finally enjoying the water at the beach.  He still won’t go for a swim buy he plays in the shore break and loves to build sand castles.
