Sunset @ the beach … …

Happy Easter everyone.  We spent our Easter swimming at Goat Island – it’s a marine reserve north of Auckland and was amazing.  Unfortunately someone left the underwater camera in the car, but there are a few goodies from the beach.  We all had an amazing day, but I think we caught the warm weather just in time because it is freezing here now!  Thanks Mum, Trisha, Luki, Daniel, Britty and Lexi for being such willing and amazing models (gotta love your family huh?).

This is the life – our own little Eden in NZ … … …
