Summer Touch

Two of our boys were part of the Summer Touch Tournament in 2011. Both played for Kaukapakapa, both did really well. Hikawera's team came first in their division whilst Kawea's team came second by one point with a nail biting finish. It is awesome to watch Kawea's team play. They were fast and onto it, so good to see kids playing so well. I was impressed!!

If it seems like I talk about sports alot your probably right. In rural areas there are a few things to keep kids busy, Sports is a big one of those, so when one tournament ends something else is just beginning!!

Flashback - Rotten teeth?

I was putting the boys to bed the other night, and as usual you go through the usual teeth toilet, bed etc... I asked Rakai, did you brush your teeth? He said no. (He was honest) So, I said, "do you want your teeth to fall out while you are asleep?" He answered with a sad look on his face, "yes, cause then I can get some money". Oh that was such a Rakai thing to say!! I had to counter that (trying not to laugh) by telling him that the tooth fairy doesn't give money for rotten teeth! Then, Hikawera pipes up saying he got $5 for a rotten (dead actually from being banged) tooth that the dentist had to pull out. I had to go into real damage control then!! Rakai comes out with the funniest things sometimes. He is golden. 

Volleyball

Teancum really enjoys playing volleyball. He jumped right into the teams at boys high, and within a couple of weeks, he was in the 'A' team. They came runner up this season to a solid Hillcrest school team. An awesome group of boys. 

Hakarimata's again!

Yes, we did it! We climbed the Hakarimata's again. Still hard, still so rewarding!!
