Spring run at Hagley Park

This photo is for Nana, she loved the Magnolia's in Spring... xxxxx

Yer so I said, "Look at the cool scarecrow - it is dressed like you lot - get over there and I'll take a picture" and guess what, they look worse than him. :(

I ran through several fields of daffidols this morning :)

Don't you love the way it looks like Seb has on purple leggings, American Cutie socks ($1 from The House of T in Washington DC) and red sparkly Wizard of Oz shoes? He he he he he, nice photography Meg!

This is the home stretch back to the car.... don't you just wish you were there? It is like running through pink snow because the blossoms are usually casting petals into the wind....

Megane did a great job taking pictures for me this morning... including this one of me with my BUM POKING OUT! while Lucy was impressing me with her monkey bar skills.... she is so strong! (The kids always have a go on these bars before we get in the car to go home. They can all go backwards and forwards on the flat bars and on the "hill bars". I can do one length of the flat bars *on a good day* (okay so I've only ever managed to do it once and I'm hanging onto the memory... so sue me!)

Lucy catching a ride back to the car (from the monkey bars) sitting on the bag of pine cones we picked up for the neighbours fire....

Ha ha ha, yes, it's true - kiwi boys are born tuff, they d0n't need shoes! He was doing jumps and crazy scootin' stuff when I noticed the shoes (probably some tourist was staring at his feet so I looked too), or lack thereof and remembered how often in America and Canada people were horrified at our bare feet :) old habits die hard!

Me, Meg and the car. It was the most beautiful run!

We welcome all visitors (Chuck & Co!!!!) xxx
