Sleeping beauties

Reuben and the masked avenger get some shut eye...

Well guys, here we are at Los Angeles, half way round the world.  Only lost one bag so far (and that's the airlines fault not ours) and hopefully it will be joining us here via a later flight.  As you can see, Reuben and Tilly did some sleeping last night.  Harriet didn't do too badly either and now we're in the Air NZ lounge grabbing a cup of tea and a shower before part two.  Children are being great even though we're all pretty tired.  Next stage will be the toughest leg of the trip as we're all starting tired, so wish us luck!

The year according to Reuben

Reuben came home with his summary of the school year today.  I think this speaks for itself!

Getting ready for Christmas

Time is rushing away towards Christmas and our trip to the UK.  Taxi booked, accommodation sorted for all the nights of our stay, car hire organised, Christmas presents bought - time to relax a bit before we tackle the packing.  Auckland weather has been fabulous recently, blue skies and temperatures in the high 20s, so we headed down to the beach on Sunday afternoon with the kayak.

Tilly asked for first ride and headed off with Dave.
