Soooooo while I've been quiet on the business front (nearly wedding season), my family and I have had a busy month! So another personal blog from me, with lots of fun..... Skiing, walks and butterflies! We had a family ski trip to Roundhill ski field near Tekapo - first time the kids have been to an actual ski field (and not just snow on the roadside) and in all honesty, first time I've been to a ski field since I was at hmmmm.... intermediate level schooling maybe? We didn't ski this time, but OMG, we tobogganed (my first time) and it was soooo much fun, the only part I think they could improve on is a ski lift/pull thingy for the toboggan users so we don't have to walk back up the slope again (even if its not that big hahahaha). We had a lot of fun on the slopes then headed down to Tekapo for some touristy sightseeing before heading back to Timaru for dinner. The following weekend, my hubby planned a day trip for us to Peel Forest, near Geraldine. Now we lived in Ashburton for quite a few years....... but not once did we visit this amazing place! Wow, we all loved it there and can't wait to go back again. Only did a few smaller walks as we spent time tiki touring there and back that day (and stopped at a lovely choccy shop in Geraldine) and then....... to top it off, last weekend we took the kids down to the Butterfly house at the Dunedin Museum....... I LOVE that museum, and love the butterfly house, even if I did begin to melt in the high temps and high humidity! Unfortunately we didn't have time to do everything in the museum (next time I'm sure) as we had a strict time table to adhere to - you see, the Tasman Makos were playing Otago down there in the stadium, and since the hubby is a big fan, and the kids have never been to watch a game in a stadium before...... that was the highlight for us grown ups!!! I didn't take my camera into the stadium, but did take a little pic of the rest of the family with my cell phone (you know, proof we were there lol) P.S... I like BIG spiders, I don't actually have to deal with big spiders here in NZ, so I'm sure I wouldn't feel the same if I lived for say in Australia, but from the comfort of NZ, I LOVE these amazing creatures! So, this blog does feature some large hairy spiders....... sorry! Damien even bought his shark with him (albeit not a mako, but hey!) we had a fantastic time!
