SHOW SOME PASSION


Just back from a few days in Taupo. What amazing weather for this time of year.

Mr 8 is no longer. He turned 9 while we were away. We went to Rotorua for his birthday and he chose to visit the Paradise Valley Springs wildlife and trout park. Oh it also has lions. Mr 9 took a gazillion photos (with my Canon). The story behind the one of DH and I below took my fancy. DH was over posing for photos. So Mr 9 pipes up "Come on Dad. Show some passion!" A fashion photographer in the making?



On our last day in Taupo DH took the kids on the lake trout fishing with some friends from Wellington. Between 5 of them they landed 10 trout. 6 were keepers. Kids pretty excited about catching such big ones. But note how Miss 13 refused to actually touch it!
