Today was the perfect day.
- It started rather bright and early. We woke at 0630 hours, which we NEVER do on a Sunday. But NZ played England in the Rugby League World cup semi-final. It was a nail biter of a game...England were 4 up in the last two minutes of the game ...and then in the final play we snatched the victory and won the game. We play Australia next weekend in the final. Cant wait. And we will HAVE to watch it live! We are the current world cup holders so it would be great to take it from the likely Auzzie winners.
- We made it our church on time even! I love hanging with my fellow God loving Peeps. This morning we were on Creche duty which is always fun.
- Arriving home just before midday...I decided today was the perfect day to head to the beach for my Christmas shot. We decided to go to a beach we never go to...Langs beach. It is a 30-40 minute drive away from Whangarei.
- Just before we hit Langs beach we came up over the hill and we were faced with the most most amazing view of the horizon ever. Literally breath taking. The blues were amazing, so many beautiful colours. When we saw this sight, we knew we had made the best decision to drive the extra miles to this beach.
- We drove on trying to find the best part of the beach and parked up. And this sight was right by the car on the side of the road.

- We got to work on our project with Dadda in charge...but more on that another time... Then it was play time.
- I kept on snapping away with my camera trying to capture some great shots of the family and beautiful scenery. The kids were mighty sick of me and the camera...especially Zak Zak.
- On the way home we decided to stop off at Waipu Cove for an ice cream. The cove was a lot busier than Langs Beach with the waves being a bit better for the surfers.
