Gore Bay

January 22, 2014 by NZ Filbruns Leave a Comment

One day last week, we went to the sea for an hour or so. The older four boys rode their boogie boards in the surf, while the little ones played at the edge of the waves, and built a house from sand. The littlest was diligently taking handfuls of sand from the wall his brother built, and patting them down onto another part of the wall!
Just before we left, we saw this container ship offshore.Waiting for the last few to finish dressing.

We went up the hill to look for Banana Passion Fruit. Esther stayed on top of the hill to tell the boys when to come back.

Scrambling down the hill after looking for the fruit.
