Its the weekend... time to get away!!!

This was taken after we had our fun on the beach... I was just hoping the "little jeep" would make it back over the soft sand and up the track.

We had so much fun driving on the beach and playing in the water

Hanging out in the cabins...

The look out at Port Stephens

Although it rained the whole weekend it was great to get away with some families from church and have fun together!!! Can't wait to do it again!

POOR REKKI

Aahhh Rekki... He had an operation the other day and got 2 stitches.

This is what happens when you can't stop LICKING!!!

He's not impressed about his collar and runs into the furniture and doors... Its Hilarious. He doesn't really understand why he has to wear it!

Cricket with the Kroks...

We love spending time with the family... We went to the Queensland Vs New South Wales game and we LOST! We had an awesome time, mum and dad hired a corporate box and we had non stop food and unlimited drinks... And I didn't even know I liked cricket! Whats not to like when you're waited on hand and foot.

OUR SUMMER HOLIDAY...

Leaving Sydney on our 13 day cruise around New Zealand...Visiting Bay of Islands, Auckland, Rotorua, Napier, Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin & Fiordland National Park

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010

Some girl decided to make herself into a ball of streamers

First stop BAY OF ISLANDS and it was absolutely breathtaking. It was our favourite place in New Zealand

RUSSELL WHARF

AUCKLAND

I promised Don Dennys when we arrived in Auckland. He was a little disappointed as all he wanted was Buffalo Strips and Ranch Dipping Sauce, which they didn't have...

NAPIER - The Art Deco City. We loved it here and would love to visit again

DUNEDIN

So we found the Cadbury factory and of course we took the tour! The best part was sampling the chocolate. The sweet sent of chocolate was amazing I wish I could have bottled it and took it home with me!

Entering beautiful FIORDLAND

It was filled with waterfalls, steep cliffs and snow capped mountains

Enjoying ourselves on the cruise...

New Zealand is absolutely stunning. We will definitely return. Its very similar to Australia only on a smaller scale.

The last 2 days at sea were rough, not only were the swells high but I was for quarantined for 48hrs with bird/swine flu caught from some nasty person on the ship, not a fun way to end your holidays. Don was the best doctor ever and took such great care of me. Infact the last 2 days were a blur... I was so so sick. All in all we love cruising and cant wait to do it again... Hopefully this year!
