Gingerbread castles

We are very blessed to have some amazing friends who are happy to let us use their farm to camp on, their company to tramp with, and their daughter to boy sit in the holidays.
School holidays and it was a boy sitter day. But the boys and Arial spent the entire day at her Mum's house making the most amazing gingerbread concoctions. 
When I went to pick the boys up after work their day had been a blast. A delicious gingerbread recipe and real chocolate melted to hold it all together. Do you see the Roman Chariot in the front of the photo. Lovely Tracey had not only had our boys around but lots of other teenagers too. The creations were amazing. 
Then the next week they spent the whole day out tramping with them all!!

A Gingerbread house

Kerryn came to Christchurch just before Xmas and the boys and I caught up with her on Tuesday. She had a great activity planned. The making of a gingerbread house. Lots of lollies, royal icing and laughter later (and a couple of house collapses) it was all up. The house survived the two big earthquakes on the 23rd so I declared it well engineered!!

A gorgeous break in Rarotonga

Woo hoo, A holiday with no kids for 11 days. Bliss, relaxing and warm! BTW it was an early 20th wedding anniversary present to ourselves....
