Mairangi Bay Beach

In New Zealand they take a long holiday for Easter. Schools are out for 3 days and Cody got 2 days off. We had a lot of work to do since we would be moving the next day, but it was Good Friday and everything was closed for the day! We needed to buy a fridge, washer, microwave, and other small appliances but it was nice to be forced to slow down and not concern ourselves with consumerism.

We took advantage of Cody's presence & the holiday and hit a local beach. It was a cloudy day but that can't keep us away from the sand, water, and waves! We packed a lunch and some buckets and everyone was happy. Cody and I love to sit & relax and watch the kids entertain themselves. We love seeing our kids thoroughly enjoy being out in nature, creating and exploring. It's so fun to see the world through their eyes. But we mostly just love being able to spend the time together as a family. It was a good day!
