♥ Weekend Bliss ♥

By PaisleyJade - Monday, November 21, 2011


Tonnes of weekend fun was had this weekend!  


Our local Playcentre held a Gala day which was awesome!!  There were heaps of games, goodies to buy and even pony rides and a petting zoo.  We manned the ticket stand together for most of the Gala, but also  had some time to check out the fun stuff.  The girls and I loved it!


This little girl kept squealing with delight for her whole pony ride.  It was her first time riding on a pony and she loved it!  p.s. I love the Lazy Day skirts - so easy to make!!


Hubby and I also went on a road trip on Sunday, as Symon was preaching at a church in a nearby town.  We discovered Burton coffee there, which Symon Burton thought was pretty awesome.


Check out the amazing New Zealand landscape.  We are so blessed to live in such a beautiful country!!


How was your weekend?

  1. Hello Kristy!
    I put the word out on my blog that I am moving to Whangarei next week and wondered if there were any knitters or crocheters in the area and Sophie Slim told me to come and hunt you down. So here I am and the first post I read has a beautiful shot of the Heads, wow, can't wait to get up there and would love to meet up and share some craft appreciation with you at some stage!
    Love Alice and Raymond XXX
