Fiji....ah bliss!

As a lovely surprise for the kids we took them to Fiji for 7 days after we left NZ. They didnt know we were going, we told Jordan the day before, and Connor figured it out on the plane as we desended into Fiji.

Here are the kids having fun, Fiji Style.

Connor is standing on Richard, who is standing on a chair, all in the Great Coconut Quest. Sadly the coconut turned out to be not-ripe :( BUT!! The boys found some lovely ripe coconuts on the golf course, and a nice man to open them for us.

Fun in the water....

And Richard, well it was hard on him, what with not working and all, but he managed...
4 rounds of golf (the photographer didnt go with him)
Sailing

Pool basketball

And while they were playing, what was I doing....
Oh you know, stuff.

Mmmm, Tropical Turtle cocktails.
Actually I did swim and snorkle etc quite a bit, but I did quite a lot of this too :)

Mia went to Little Chiefs Club every day, she absolutely loved it, she went each morning after breakfast and then spent the afternoon at the beach with us. I gave her the option each day and there was no way she wasnt going! ...

Mia is modelling her grass skirt.

Waiting for a boat trip.

Posing....

Have you ever tried to take a photo of 3 children all looking good at once? Its near impossible! I took about 40 photos to try and get a frame-able one.

Richard had his 40th birthday in Fiji, We celebrated by booking a sitter and having a special dinner on our own private beach. Here we are...

We even had a waiter who only looked after us. 1/2 way through the meal a crab ran under the tablecloth after that my feet stayed on my chair or outside the cloth. Just after they had brought the cake and sang happy birthday it started pouring and we had to dash for cover. Truely a memorable evening.

So thats it, our holiday in Fiji. Boy, it was rough :)

Back to normality now.
