Another roundup post of the 52 Week Project. October was also quite eventful–family-wise, work-wise. I really struggled to find time to focus on my hobbies.
Week 39
We have been frequenting Oriental Bay these days. Somehow, being near the water calms down the girls. Days are getting longer, so we try to tire them out so that going to bed is easier.
Week 40
This week we spent half a day at Aston Norwood Gardens to view the gorgeous cherry blossom trees. We did the same last year.
Week 41
A visit to Raumati Beach. There is a nice playground over there, and a short walk to the beach. Water is still too cold to swim in, but the girls throw stones, which they really like to do.
Week 42
A chance meet up with some friends when we went to Oriental Bay. Patty also approached a father and daughter who were doing some work on the sand. I was amazed that she initiated a conversation with them.
Week 43
New Zealand is not so big on Halloween for kids. Or maybe because the pandemic has made people wary of setting up Halloween parties. This year we had a small gathering with friends. No elaborate costumes, just the girls got to put on their dresses.
