Week 2: Day 10 Spring HP: Trick or Treat 💀👻🎃🍪🍩🍭🍫🍬

Today, our last day. Whanau it has been a privilege to run it back for the Holiday Programme. We had a blast and made it as fun as it could be. The sun and Father Time caught up with us so some of the days felt long and it has been hot. Here’s what we did today.

This morning we got stuck into our Mini Games and our desserts. We made dirty mousse cups with a twist on things that made it spooky. Check out the photos.
While that was happening we did mini games too burn off some energy that needed to be burnt. How cool was it to see our kids as tired as they have been to give it a go. But also how cool our their costumes. Some would say the next best thing too the real thing. Once we wrapped up our morning with that. Then we got stuck into our big game. Something new and something different but hopefully the photos do it justice.

We had lunch and then got stuck into the afternoon. We did face painting and a bit of fun stuff to round up our holiday programme.

We appreciate you all for allowing us to spend time with your tauira. One more term and Christmas is here. Till next time ❤

Week 2: Day 9 Spring HP: World Amazement Park 🛝🎢🎠🎟️

Today, our last out of center trip. We are headed out of the city again over the hill to Rotorua. We arrived safe and sound whanau. We left on time, We drove on schedule, we arrived on time. We managed to even stop for a quick break. How good whanau!!

We arrived in Rotorua and got into our amazement mazing maze. We let em run loose, we let em get lost, we let em figure it out. We had to touch all 4 corners, we were timed and it was a fast and hard maze but we got there in the end. Even stopped in to check out feeding time.

Other parts of the maze were the cool rooms. We got to check those out, then move on to other areas.

After we finished, we wrapped it up with lunch on the lakeside. Found a cool spot to eat, have a play, load back up and head back to the center to end our day!! Shoutout to our crew for running the show!! Shoutout to our kids for listening and having fun!!

Last day tomorrow!! Happy Halloween.

Week 1: Day 4 Spring HP: United Cinemas 🍿🎥🎬🎦🎞️

Chuuuuurrr whanau. What a beautiful day to be a beautiful day. This is our day summarised in a few short sentences. We hope you enjoy the photos.

This morning we rounded up and got ready to head out to the movies first thing this morning. Left the center a bit later than usual, that’s because our movie time was smack bang in the middle of our usual time at the park. So we ate up, headed out, got to the movies, loaded up in our seats and began the movie. It was forgotten island. Here’s the quick rundown of the movie:
* Two girls enter a magical island and have to save their friendship before they literally forget each other. Casual Tuesday. Sounds like a night out for some of the parents hehehe.

After our movie we headed to the park for lunch and a run around before heading back to the center. Pretty much our 2nd out of center trip done for the day!!!!’’

Tomorrow we round up our 1st week of the Spring HP in the center. Enjoy the photos.
