Monday
After school today I took the boys to the scenic reserve. We explored a new bit down over a bridge and at the skate park. They loved running up and down the ramps it was super cute! Other than that we've been doing the same as usual!
Tuesday
I met Julia at Coffee Culture again today, but as I don't have any tesol stuff with me there wasn't much for me to go through as I'd rather plan proper lessons for her that way I'm helping her out but I'm also practicing teaching properly too! Afterwards I spent my time finishing off buying presents for the family and I'm pretty much almost done now which is a weight off! I'm excited to give the boys their presents but I really don't want to leave, I can't believe how quickly this year as gone!
Wednesday
Today we had a chill day today, not doing overly much until after school when we played frisbee golf down at Caroline Bay as I had bought a couple more frisbees this morning. It was so much fun and Darragh was pretty good, Cillian is just a little slow compared to him but he'll get there when he's a bit bigger, his aim is pretty spot on though.Emily came around for dinner and then, after the boys had gone to bed, we watched High School Musical 2! I'm so sad we didn't meet each other sooner as we get on so brilliantly!
Thursday
We're getting very excited for our holiday this weekend! After picking Cillian up from kindy, we cleaned the car (as it was stressing me out, it was so dirty!) and then took his bike down to Caroline Bay for a ride as it was such a lovely day! After picking Darragh up from school, we went round to see Mackenzie as it was her birthday! This evening, a few family friends came over for nibbles and Mary had made the most amazing sushi! Also I ate the salmon and didn't hate it so hopefully me forcing myself to like fish is working! All in all a lovely day!
Friday
We kept Darragh off school today as we weren't sure when we were gonna be heading to Wanaka! I took them both to mainly music and it was so cute to see hat everyone there still remembered Darragh even though he hasn't been for half a year! Afterwards, I dropped he boys off to Wade at the hairdressers for a pre holiday hair cut. Then it was back home for last minute packing and cleaning before making the three hour journey to Wanaka! I couldn't remember whether I had been here before, but walking down to the lake made me realise I had - this is where Tayla was attacked by ducks! This evening we had fish and chips and roasted marshmallows on the open fire. All in all a great Friday, although I did fall asleep watching the girl who played with fire with Wade and Mary!
I was 100% sure that I wouldn't go skiing whilst here, so I brought heaps of things with me to entertain myself up the mountain whilst the others were skiing and snowboarding. However, when we got there Wade and Mary said that they would go halves with me and, although the whole day was definitely way over budget for me (even going halves!) it was so worth it! I had the best time and by the end of the day I had gotten pretty confident. And to be fair, I only really fell over when I was standing still at the bottom! All in all a super fab day!
Sunday
Today we headed back to Queenstown, which I'm super happy about as I would go as far as to say that it is my favourite place in New Zealand and one of my most favourite places in the world! We headed up the gondola and took the boys on the luge, which they both loved so much! We then went and grabbed some lunch, I contemplated a Ferg burger but I was definitely not hungry enough so went for some dumplings instead! We then went to cookie time as I wanted to get a freebie, but sadly the queue was huge and I couldn't be bothered to wait so we just headed back to Wanaka! On the way back, we stopped off at the bridge bungy to show the boys and then Wade and Mary forced me to have a photo next to the big fruit.
