Erik, Bethany, and their boys (Henry, Otto and Charlie) arrived in Auckland last week. They enjoyed some time in the city and explored around the Bay of Plenty for a couple of days before making their way to Wanganui last Friday.
We spent Saturday showing them some of our favourite weekend hot spots.

On Sunday we drove to Mt. Taranaki to hike through the Goblin Forest to Wilke's Pools. It was perfect weather for some tramping.
After our hike we continued driving up to New Plymouth where we inhaled some Burger Fuel and enjoyed the famous beach walk.
We were also able to spend a day at Kai Iwi beach where the boys got to do some more boogie-boarding and we all enjoyed the playground and a picnic at high tide.
A great way to end a day at the beach - real fruit ice cream from Westmere Berry Farms.
The time with the cousies went way too fast. Before we knew it, it was time to say good-bye and they were off to explore around this beautiful country a bit more (Waitomo Caves, Rotorua, Hobbiton) before taking off for home. Thank you for coming to visit us - we had a great time!!
