It's a trip to the new 'Rocket Ropes' course out by the Airport.
The kids do not know where they are going, just that it's a surprise!
I bet they are all rapt with it.
Suffice to say... I WON'T be joining in! I hope they have a coffee shop so I can sit and just watch! *smiles* OH yes... I am going! So is Bex.
Bex arrived last night, and is staying for the weekend again. She was very impressed with all the re-arranging I had done too.
Steve even has a 'walk in wardrobe' down in the garage! I must take a photo later to show you!
In the meantime, here's a photo of a wee gift Bex found for me in a Hamilton Op Shop! I think she has caught my 'bug' for bargins ....
ONWARD...
HI HONEY.. we're home! And we have had a really nice day! The kids had an absolute ball at the rope course... photos:
Below: Griffin on the course. He went really well, and only ALMOST unclipped himself completely once. I nearly shit myself when he went to undo BOTH safety clips while way up high! Luckily he stopped when I yelled at him! It was a long way down.
I will post a few little videos of Griffin on the rope course tomorrow too.
Once we had dropped the kids back to school, Bex and I went to Manukau Mall, had a wander around and lunch, then got home in time for a little relax before the kids get home from school.
End of Day: a really neat day today... enjoyed it immensely.
ON TRACK: well no... but heading back that way.
nite nite.
Wow, that rope course looks amazing...and high! LOL! But I bet the kids will LOVE it. And I'd be with you...sitting and enjoying my cup of tea while watching all the kids have fun.
ReplyDeleteThat fish is adorable...how thoughtful of Bex to get him for you. I think if she and Steve get married, you are going to have a fun partner with whom to go thrifting! :o)
Have a wonderful weekend.
XOXO,
Cyndi
the kids will love it. My daughter had a girl guides trip there. Next door is Butterfly Creek with a nice cafe.

That fish is bloody awesome, Bex has good tastes :)
ReplyDeletePutting Steve downstairs also gives them a little privacy. It's a good move.
ReplyDeleteLove the fish! Is it just an ornament or does it have another purpose? Would look great on the wall...
That looks like such a great place for kids! We have places around us with zip lines and such, but nothing like that. Glad he had such a great time.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool reward for the Bootcamp kids & a way to give them heaps of confidence.
ReplyDeleteThere are a few similar things around, there is a high ropes course in Birkenhead & one done thru trees in Kumeu. Running & jumping may not be Griffins thing but he obviously thrived on htis type of activity.
Bex is a treasure...........
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful day was had by ALL! Griffin really did a Wonderful job! What a wonderful experience for him. I am terrified of heights so he has my admiration!
ReplyDeleteOf course I love the fishie! He is a real keeper! It will be cute to see how your use him.(and he was the Right color) LOL
That Bex is not only beautiful, but so neat. Me thinks she is a Keeper!
Wow good on Griffin he looks like he really enjoyed himself, and he is getting taller again!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great achievement for Griffon. He looks like he was having a great time as well. Sorry I haven't visited in a bit. I've been really busy starting up my business. I now have an Etsy site up and running. You can visit it here at http://www.etsy.com/shop/rossmccreery . Hope all is going well with you. In only one short week my family will be in Disneyland! We decided to surprise the kids, so they don't know as we plan on telling them on the way to the airport!
ReplyDeletenite,nite chris. glad u had a great day. that rope course looks awesome
ReplyDeleteUm yea I would have shit myself too haha! I can barely watch the kids play on the playground equipment in the park.
ReplyDeleteWhat a GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT......WAY TO GO!!!!!
