Our Rotovegas trip

After sitting on the couch for a couple of weeks Brandon was getting frustrated and needed a change of scenery. So we packed up the car and headed to Rotorua to visit Megan, James, Sophie and brand new baby Abby.

We had a great break away and although Brandon pretty much went from one couch to another he got a break from being at home and could talk to some other people (yeah a break from me!)


Amber and Sophie played really well. I was amazed at how much Amber thrived while we were there and how much she picked up from Sophie. The girls spent their days riding around the house on their bikes, doing the circuit I don't know how many times!The girls on their bikes

We went to the beach (lake front) one afternoon which was really nice. Sophie and Amber played in the waves together, loving every minute of it.

We decided to go for a ride up the gondola to the top of the big hill in Rotorua. It was a fun ride for Amber and she wasn't scared by the height at all. When we got to the top we had lunch and watched the luge riders hoon down the hill. I think Brandon was a little peeved that he could not take part.

Unfortunately our visit was over too soon and before we knew it was time to go home. We had a great time in Rotorua visiting the relies and meeting baby Abby for the first time. She is such a sweetie and so looks like her dad.
