Christmas party at child care. Highs and lows

This is me with best friend Ben! He is 4.
I am not going to embarrass myself singing this song. I don't care how well I do the actions of the polar bear! Not going to happen! Little girl on the right is maddie! I love her..

This is more like it! Thanks Santa!

Pooh on Parade

Up at the shops last Sunday was a Christmas parade!

Mumm thought the old Duck back right was going to slip her hip and minute.
this santa was a bit odd?
I don't think this is the real Joseph? check out the beard

"Santa! I want a scooter!"

The Hotel had a pool too!

The hotel in Napier had a large spa bath- so big I needed to wear my floaties.

Napier take two- It has a pool!

Here we are at Napier again! We came down for Daddy's Christmas party. The next day we went to the outdoor heated salt water pool called Ocean Spa.

I LOVED it!

Swimming at the Pool

Here is Daddy and I swimming at the Pool at the top of our street.

Mummy came too, no photo as she is so white!

Here are Mummy's toes only!

Is it a bird?... is it a plane?

No it is Charlie dressed as Superman, Travis the Incredible and Ashley the fairy!

Mummy's Birthday

For Mummy's birthday we went to Craggy Range Winery for Lunch.
We got to sit on the deck and enjoy the wine, food, views and sunshine.


The view driving down to the winery.
People were para-gliding off the hills.
Damien said to me "If at first you don't succeed, don't try hang gliding Charlie".
How wise.

I played by the pond with a little girl, while everyone enjoyed lunch.

Marine World Napier

On the Friday we went to Napier, Daddy had to work so Mummy and I went to Marine world.
It should of been called, "1 dolphin, 15 seals and 12 penguins World" as there was no other Marine life represented.
But for $11, we and the other 9 people there were not complaining.

From the (very oversized) grandstand we got to watch a very old Dolphin swim a few laps of the "performing" pool. However she was not doing tricks today. so we watch her fin come out of the water.



I got to feed a baby seal called Marcus.
Pat a penguin called Onion.
And feed a 330kg seal called "Oh my God", that is what Mummy called it everytime I dropped fish in its mouth.

Napier

Napier or Hollywood? You decide

After an early morning flight, on a 50 seater plane, we touched down in Napier- The Art Deco City.

Here is Amanda & Damien Pillips with Daddy.

Fun at Izzie's 4th birthday Party

Have you ever been to a birthday party?
They are the most fun ever!!
There are faires that twist balloons into anything you want- I got a motorbike, and my face painted as a lion- Brilliant.
All my friends were there, Izzie, Ben and Kate.
Then, it that isn't enough fun, you get to eat lunch that was a table of full of lollies and fizzy drinks.
Once the sugar kicks in you then get to play games like pass the parsel, musical chairs and pop the bubbles. all involed winning (you guessed it) more lollies.
Before we knew it, it was time to leave- I was very upset about going, however it was made easier with a goodbe goodies bag (of Lollies).

Tiny Y's. I AM BACK

After missing out on a place last term, I have made it back into the Tiny Ys sqad at the YMCA.

I especially liked the rings, as I could fly like Superman.

They make me wear a name tag which seems silly to me as I know my name is Charlie.

Arts and Crafts

Mummy and I had fun making things at home. Daddy was a good sport and wore our fashion glasses for a photo.


Here is a monster ...

Here are two others..

I now wear UNDIES!

I am a big boy now, I wear underpants!

Do you think that I could have a career in Modelling??
