End of Season break up

At the end of Sports seasons, it is a cmmon thing to have a break up.  Rangikawea's Rugby team certainly know how to do this with country style. Kawea's 2 coaches are Rex and Kelvin. We had a mid year activity at Kelvin's farm - which was fantastic by the way... so it was Rex's turn to host..

It was awesome!! We arrived to find kids and adults alike hooning around on quad bikes, motor bikes and whatever else rolled around. It was so cool!! We don't have bikes for our family...yet, so it was very humbling and impressive that they shared their bikes with us. Great people.

For those not riding, there was a homemade sleigh pulled along by a quad to enjoy.

Nauvoo getting her adrenalin fix

Hikawera straight away found his mate from school and they were inseperable.

This was not all, there was a horizontal bungy, which was hillarious to watch. It was hooked on the bull bars of someones ute. A tarpoulin wasplaed in front all soaped up, and there were goody bags as prizes to try to reach. It was fun to watch the kids run hard out and just as they were about to grab the bag, ping! they were flung back in mid air.. if you get a chance you have to try this!!

There was an awesome waterslide. This time down hill into the pond! Now, I don't know about you but the water here in Nz is FREEZING!!! needless to say the kids loved it!

See the black polythene into the pond? Wanna try?

Hikawera following his mate into the water, notice the wetsuits!!

Every attraction needs spectators!

These two went for ages on this slide. The cold nor the water made a difference.

This is Brian Beau's dad (hiks friend) it was great to see an adult taking to the slope.  hard men!!

Kawea will also give almost anything a go..good on you son.

Now the other highlight if the above was not enough, Rex loves flying. On nice days you can hear and see him flying over our farm. He has a little light weight plane (2 seater) and a run way, yes a run way, on his farm. For this afternoon he chartered a mate and his plane so there were 2 planes and took all the kids for a 15 min joy ride each. How amazing is that. Now for our family we have at least 2 (3 now I think) that want to fly planes. It was a dream come true for Nauvoo and Kawea to be able to go up in the planes and have a great time. There were BIG smiles all round.

This is after Nauvoo's flight. Here are the girls that went up with Nauvoo on the orange plane (seats 5).
Notice the smiles.... they had those on for quite a while.

The avo is topped off by a 'mean as' BBQ.

Thanks Rex for an amazing afternoon.
