Ethan and the Frog-poles
Ethan finished off a lovely stay with Nana and Grandad by catching almost-frogs or Frog-poles. He was so excited that he brought them up from the pond to be admired over lunch before their release.

Saved the best ‘til last
Typical, but we discovered the BEST, most deserted beach on our last day. Karikari Beach North is accessed by a dodgy gravel DOC road and I had never even noticed the sign for it before. It was stunning. We had another fantastic day with cold snapper wraps for lunch and a lazy afternoon sunning and playing in the waves.
