Kayla in a hat

Bless.

Camping at the Kai Iwi lakes this last week. Many photos of kids and sand. These few are enough to get a flavour.

Cow Flop Lotto

If the first cow flop landed in your square, you won... nothing. But it was still heaps of fun.

Hairdryer action

Girl in a box

We love lego in this house.

Sleeping kids

Sometimes they just sleep wherever they are. The "Pirate Ship" was from the Toy Library.

On the ferry

Leaving Half Moon Bay

Panmure trains

Kim and little Joseph on the back. I think Aidan and Kayla are probably in there somewhere as well.

Wakeboarding

Panmure lagoon. He was getting some good air, but never quite managed to bring off a landing. Still, he was trying.

Band wagon

These guys had it turned up to 11 inside their van. After the parade was over, I saw them navigating one of Howick's back streets. They were still hammering away, and loving every second.

"But I'm a lady"

Santa parade again. These guys were having an absolute hoot.

Tractor

Santa parade, Howick.

Kayla doing the cute thing

Bless.

Don't get too close to Kayla when she gets the hose.

Another beautiful sunny Auckland day. You have to get the hose out.

On the swing

I'll be aiming to average a photo a day. Enough for today, but I wanted to finish on a nice shot of Aidan. Kayla is much easier to take nice snaps of, and he gets a bit self-conscious when he sees the camera. This is Aidan having fun. Not pin-sharp, but a nice moment. Got to love little Joseph's expression.

Kayla the bag lady

Not a pose that she would usually strike, so she is clearly very pleased with herself.

Ice cream

Monkey ice cream.

Kayla close up

Could probably do with touching-up, but not quite a good enough shot to bother.

Big box

Hours of fun to be had with a big box.

Hose shot

Plotting trouble.

Camping Bath

A bath big enough for two.

Time to share some photos...

There is already an Auckland Daily Photo Blog, and this isn't it, or anything like it. This will just be me putting up some of the photos I like. Quite a lot will be of my kids, because I mostly take photos of my kids. But there will be a few others.
