Update...

These are the latest photos from a tramp we did before Bryce's trip to the US and Canada. Kirsten (Bryce's childhood friend), her boyfriend Ant, Bryce and I walked one of the "great walks" of New Zealand, the Tongariro Crossing. We didn't do the whole walk as you needed crampons because of all the snow and ice, but we did get to see some great sights. It was an awesome day and the weather held out pretty well for us. If you are on facebook, I have an album with more pics from this trip.
Bryce is now back safe and sound from his business/visit with my family/mountain bike holiday in Colorado and Utah trip. He was gone for over 3 weeks. HE just adored mountain biking everyday though and not having to worry about how to get to all the fabulous trails. The guides sorted out all the transport. He met some good friends on the trip too who are all kiwis and I'm sure future riding buddies here.
I go back to school on Monday for Term 3. These holidays have been pretty busy. I ran a Volleyball Workshop for some primary and early highschool aged children to try to get more skills being developed in this region. It was a success and everyone seemed to have a lot of fun. I was pretty impressed with how much improvement the kids went through in just two days! Lets hope they come to our College now!
Yesterday I sent home a massive package with gifts for all the family birthday that have happened this summer. So Happy Birthday to Asher (Sept) Abby (July), Kristie (July), Maire (June), Raelen (June, I think...he was JUST born this year), Max (July) and Robbie (August).
And a big Happy Birthday to all my girls who are turning 30 this year. Wow. It doesn't sound as old as it used to, eh?
