A long weekend #2 – Rotorua

In Rotorua we went to see the geysers. And it was awesome. And then we went on a big long walk of the geysers. It smelled like rotten eggs. And I didn’t like the smell.

A long weekend #1 – Lake Taupo

We went to Lake Taupo for a lunch break. And I found some stones. One looked like my mother’s necklace. The other one was two colours. The next one looked like a shell. And the other one I don’t know, it was two colours again.

A trillion crickets!

Mighty mushrooms

Posted by esmee on Apr 23, 2009 in mushrooms | 1 comment

We got mushrooms from the market, mum came home with them. One day over a few weeks, guess what happened? A big mushroom appeared, and mum knocked it off with the door of her car. I took the mushroom to school. The kids kept asking me the same question all over again. “Where did you get it from?”, and I kept saying “from seeds”.

Waterfall track, Belmont

I took Patches, my dog, for a walk on the waterfall track. We strolled to the wet foot track. I thought it was going to be pretty wet and pretty muddy, and it turned out it was.
