Whangamata











This weekend we went to Whangamata, a popular get-away for Aucklanders. We stayed in a house belonging to some of Mark's parents' close friends. Just after arriving, we were greeted with severe winds and about 24 hours of torrential rain. (I am posting a picture of the Whangamata golf course after the rain). We had no TV and were all cooped-up in the house together. Instead of a bummer, it was a real blessing getting to spend good family time together. Sunday was a nice day and we were able to enjoy the beach before coming home that afternoon.

On Friday, the school had a certificate assembly. Esther's teacher honored her with a certificate. She acted embarrassed by the attention, but I know deep down she was quite pleased.
