this scene is usual on most trips, Miss Ali has always had an easily disturbed puku to the point that she feels sick just thinking about car trips as a result we collect air sickness bags...they are fantastic, keep it contained, she uses it, rolls up the top and holds it till we get to the next rubbish bin.
mum & dad picked up this deck chair from the Naeseby charity auction... stunning! It seemed to draw the boys...even the 2 & 4 year old ones!
Tui.
The gardens at the beach house attract quite a few native birds and the Tui & Bell Birds seem to love the flax flowers that are between the two units so we are sitting at the table and hear the flutter of wings, look up and there they are - about 2.5 metres from where we are sitting.
I think we are back home now...till school starts...swimming lessons this coming week with the Arrowtown Swimming Club.

So cool to see the native bird life - we have had a weka walk through our back yard, a kereru on the tree just outside the front door and some californian quails walk through the front yard
Oh poor poppet feeling sick in the car! If you run out of those bags resort to an ice cream container with a lid.
I would love the full size file of the Tui if you are able to share please pretty please.
All the best for the last week of the holidays Lara!

Poor Miss Ali -nothing worse than getting car sick - makes the trip drag and I can't blame her for not looking forward to travel. Hope she grows out of it soon. LOVE the deck chair, and can see why the kids are drawn to it. Holidays end way too quick don't they, we have been back at work for pupil free for the last couple of days. Our kids all come back on Tuesday.
oh yes - can relate to the car sick thing. Poor gal. We used to chew gum to help prevent it.
Love the tui!
I read a long time ago that holing a lemon while travelling can help car sickness a lot.
My Jack gets quessy and we have taken a lemon for him to hold on our trips to the beach and it does work.
Worth a try Lara.
