Easter Weekend Over

Hey Everyone, it is Tuesday here in New Zealand and the Easter holiday is now over. It has been a fun filled holiday. I mentioned alot of what i have done to you already, but now i have the photos to go along with it. We made chocolate Easter Eggs on Friday. so here is my step by step photo illustration on how that is done. In case you guys were starting to doubt that Leo still actually existed I included a photo of her above. Saturday I told you all about already.

Easter Sunday started with the Easter Bunny leaving Leo and I a treat outside the bedroom door. Marshmellow filled Chocolate Easter Eggs. Leo and I went down to Gulf Harbour which is a little town that is set on the waterfront. It is real nice and real expensive, it is a posh place to live. I have a photo of Leo and I at the end of the harbour where the town contre is.
After Gulf Harbour, we went off to Shakespeare Regional Park. It is a large park that has everything you need. It has beaches, camping, hiking, fields for sports, and animals. The park has terrific views of the waters and the coast. They even have life size photo frames set up with scenery in the background. Dont worry i will attach a photo of that as well. went to the park and walked a little bit on the trails, and took some photos. after the park we headed home for easter dinner.

For dinner we had ham, with pineapple and a rice salad. the salad was deliciouse, it was rice mixed with all different veggies and had a lemon dressing. after dinner we chilled in the backyard and that was it. easter was pretty basic, nothing too exciting. it was different experience as i am used to 25 people at every holiday. it almost seemed like there was no holiday. but i know there was.

That brings me to easter monday. a national holiday here, where everyone gets off of work and the mall has huge sales. all weekend there has been this Easter Show going on. Leo wants to take me, so i am up for it. it is great, we there and it is all different things, its like a carnival with rides and food, and then it has stages and tents for shows, it has a market place for people to shop the crafts and they have a huge petting farm for the kids. they also have art on display as there is a big contest for drawing, painting, photography and many other competitions. then there is also animal contests, best in show for example. We wonder the park heaps, we watched three shows. two of which were danger shows and another was lumberjack competition. The danger shows were cool there was juggling fire, balancing on chairs stakced ontop of one another, balancing a kayak on a chin and even swallowing a sword. it was crazy. i took tons of photos and video. I have video of eating the sword and photos of everything else. I will attach the kayak photos that i took as that was really impressive. we spent a total of 5 hours at the show it was great fun. the show was generally geared for kids but there was plenty of adult like things that made it fun.

Like i stated earlier it is tuesday, i am stranded alone as leo had to go back to work. so i am stuck to make my own fun. typing this blog takes heaps of time so that will cut a hunk out, i also have things to do. i need to apply for jobs and get an IRD number(it is like a SSN). once i have those things set i will be able to work and earn money. Well other than that i think i have rambled enough and given you plenty to look at. enjoy everything and i hope all is safe and well. -Mike
