Hot day

Summer is in full swing and it is HOT so I thought it would be nice to visit a few of the awesome swimming pools in and around Auckland.  Last week we had a great afternoon at Point Erin Pools so this week we had a look at Tepid Baths.

It was a really nice swim, the smaller pool (originally the ladies pool) was quite warm so the kids naturally decided that they had to swim in the warm pool.  I did get the boys into the larger pool (originally the males pool) but they were a lot happier in the smaller pool due to how deep the other pool was.

I was expecting a salt water pool so I had to lick my hand to confirm if it was salt water and no it isn't.

More swimming adventures to come

Out of normal routine

Our normal morning routine is that I take Hannah to school and then take Dylan to school but since Hannah needed some dressings on her arm changed  before school we had a totally backward routine today.  Took Dylan to school and he was more than happy to show her his classroom and then over to the GP so the nurse could do her dressings.  I had phoned her teachers to say she was going to be late as her dressings needed to be changed and then about ten minutes late for school.  Scott wanted to go to the park since we had to drive past it to go home.

The park has a racing car since the park is in memory of Bruce McLaren and he thought it was great to drive over the houses etc.  He made mum drive as well so I pretended to be so tired I fell asleep and only kisses would wake me up.

Life is full of bumps and bruises

especially when you are a boy who loves to run.  Dylan skinned his knee on Monday and this is the  result on Tuesday

and this is what it looks like today

so I guess a trip to the GP is in order just to make sure that nothing is wrong.
