Matariki

It's Matariki, the Maori new year. We observed the occasion with a campfire and marshmallows. The children picked out a potato,wrapped it in foil and finished baking on the coals..Papa introduced the children to "loaded potatoes" which they loved.

A windy evening which was a bit too cold for comfort for some of us.

With the school term starting next week, we spent the morning getting haircuts done at home, and the usual prep and freeze for lunchboxes.

The weekend will fly by and school will resume before we know it.
