This last week has been filled with rain and floods all over the country. Oamaru itself had the roads coming in and out from either side closed due to flooding.

Our section was not as bad as that but still impressively flooded!



This park down the road is obviously not normally full of water and ducks having a good old time swimming!

Apart from the floods we haven't been up to much since Easter to be honest but I did go for a trip down to Riverton where my bro and his family live. Its a 2 hour drive from home so you kinda have to stay for the night if you go there! Here are the kids sitting on the front door step all singing "cheese" to the camera in harmony!

The kids in Jessica's bedroom - playing with the camera more than their toys! (bunch of posers!)

Back home a day helping Grandad build a sandpit!

At home with the new tyre swing we put up in the garden. Great fun!

So all in all - just regular life around here! Apart from winter arriving with a thump not much else to report - I would imagine I will have more to say when we have been to Auckland for our Mid Year get away!
