We had a great 3 day weekend for the Queen's Birthday. Our pastor friend Miguel gave surf lessons to those willing to brave the water after church Sunday. We took a picnic and enjoyed Waipu beach about 30 minutes south of town and on the otherside of the bay from us. We had 2 invites to dinner over the weekend and enjoyed the food and conversation of a Christian family from the UK and then the next night some incredible pizza, homegrown olives, and fun with a fellow physician Kiwi couple from the hospital and their 2 boys who are in the same class at school with our kids. On my brother's advice we started inviting some of these folks over to our rental house and grilled out today with Miguel, Claudia, and their 6 kids. We did a muddy but fun 3 hour round trip trek up to the Whangarei Heads we show so much in the photos. We will show photos of the muddy crew and panaramic views soon. Phillip "got a try" aka touchdown in Rugby lingo. He also landed the merit award from his coach for the second week. He has his eye on MVP but seems to be knocking the block out of Rugby to me. Andrew said he hopes everyone is proud of him too so bring on the commens about him catching the first fish! We heard of some karate down the street from us at a little community center so we may check that out for Andrew. He seems to love to sword fight and wrestle and punch at things.
