Visit to the Lieshouts

What a great afternoon we had with the Lieshouts in Pukekohe. They moved to a new place since we visited them last. Not too far away from the last place, just 20min on the highway from Auckland City but this time they have a much (much much!) bigger section and a huge backyard - a farm!!!

Their boys have grown so much. On the front yard the boys played swing ball together.

But once our kids discovered this amazing backyard, they only wanted stay on the farm!! They had horses, cows, chickens and sheep! How cool is that!? 

Luca and Ashley were extra keen for the horses. Heather was so good showing the kids how to take care of the horse and got her ready for little rides. 

Oliver had a go first. He was the most hesitant of the three but he ended up with a big smile :)

Then time for Luca, he is natural I think. He just loved it. 

And here is Ashley, she hasn't stopped talking about the white horse she rode since this day. It was such a special experience for her!

It was so nice to catch up with you Greg, Heather, Will, Tom, George and Monty! We hope we get to see you again next summer! Thanks for the lovely afternoon tea and fun activities on your backyard farm!!! It was just AWESOME!
