Magic Mangawhai Heads.

At the end of April we went away for a week to a friends Bach (holiday home) at Mangawhai Heads. It felt like we were trying to eek the last bit of summer out before winter set in. Fortunately we had a great week and it was warm enough for lots of swims.

We found out that IB does not like the feeling of sand on her feet. This is the look of feet that do not like sand on them.

EV loves the sand and the waves. Dadda took her boogie boarding everyday. In the end she was standing up on the board and declared she must learn to surf. Here are the surfing buddies after a big afternoon swimming at the heads.

One of the most beautiful parts of this holiday was the most glorious sunsets we saw every evening. I was so captivated I even busted out the panorama view on my camera.

And if you were unfortunate enough to be up very early the sunrise was pretty cool too.

While EV and dadda were at the beach IB and I hung out, and painted and rode the scooter, with a handbag of course.

We enjoyed the local market and found some good chillies and fruit. Even managed to make pizza, rolling the dough out bach styles.

This was the best bach holiday we have had in ages, even the dog's bed was good for relaxing. Thanks Marion and Pete for sharing your bach! "woof!"
