The day started with me off to the Tauranga Rowing Club to check it out and see about rowing possibilities. There is a master's club, they scull mostly, and take it pretty seriously in the country! The boys are signed up to do a Learn to Row session during their two weeks of holiday starting Monday!
Too windy to row for us, so I found myself next at the Farmer's Market where asparagus and Protea were plentiful!
Home in time to find the boys off at first aid class for the entire day (phew!!) for their lifesaving, and Maggie begging me to take her up to the top of the Mount, again! This time with no breaks and no side ache. She's got some legs of steel!
Nothing like some retail therapy and sampling of baked goods at our favorite new cafe, Cafe 88, after a hearty hike!
Surfer girl, surfer girl, my little surfer girl indeed! She waited 3 hours patiently while I looked at cars to buy (maybe a Honda Odyssey??) until she could wait no longer to go to the beach and put those boogey boards to some use! It is so much fun to see her go after this new sport. She told me as she was lining up for her next break, "Mom, it feels so good to float like this in the water!" "Why is that Mags?" " I don't know, just feeling the salt water on my skin and in the wetsuit...." and off she went with the wave.
