Katey Zara and Liam: August 2012

This year we had our summer holiday in "sunny" although a bit cooler than we are used to and quite a bit of rain - Wales! Even though the weather wasn't quite up to scratch we still had a fun filled action packed holiday. Our first adventure was a walk with the dinosaurs at 'Dinosaur Farm'

The bush actually reminded us all of the Catlins, very much like being back in NZ, it even smelt the same. Haven't seen too many dinosaurs or "old fellas" in the Catlins though.

Then the fun began, Zara drove me on the bumper boats.

While Liam spun daddy in a evil circle of dizziness

Then I got my own back on Zara and took her for a circuit in an off roader - I decided to take the off roading term literally and spent alot of the course over the edge....

Zara was frazzled by the time I'd finished the lap but mum was in hysterics

Then we all had a go at the bubble balls, they seriously are much harder than they look

But that didn't stop Zara, she was a hamster in those balls and just kept spinning around

The tube slide was another fantastic source of entertainment

For everyone

Then after a day with the dinosaurs we hit Saundersfoot beach for a spot of tennis and paddling

More reminders of NZ - even the south otago weather

More fun rides the next day - Dad taking his driving job very seriously much to the detriment of the fella he drove off the road.

Then a family trip on the ferris wheel for a fabulous view of Tenby (south wales)

No family holiday is complete with out some cute pics of our baby sister, Mila was a champion and loved the holiday, she was smiling the whole time.

Back to the beach, this time South Beach in Tenby

Dad dug us in to the sand, it started at our knees but that didn't contain us for very long....

so he dug us in right up to our waists.... that took a good 10 minutes to get me out, but I needed some help from Zara & Liam - which meant they had to be freed first, a good exercise in team building!
