We awoke to a glorious day so we took 3 very active boys (Fionn, Ciaran & Josh) and of course Hudson up the top of Mt KauKau. We had a very funny 'incident' in the car on the way to the start of the climb ... Josh found a packet of chewing gum in the back of the car - all 3 boys had a piece. The boys then decided to be 'adventurous' with this gum which turned into a moustache, an earring, you name it ! Well, not before long they had ALL (yes all 3 of them) got the gum stuck in their hair - and I mean really stuck ! We had to call into some random house at the base of the climb and ask if we could borrow a pair of scissors so then all boys sported a 'chop' in their hair styles. Not a bad lesson to learn !!
After that, we all raced one another to the top of Mt KauKau. I have to say ... Huddy, despite the metal plate in his back leg, takes a lot of beating - which is not a bad thing with 3 rather competitive boys in tow ! We played games all the way up and you would be amazed at what the "lolly fairy" can hide along the way!
We were certainly all relieved to get to the top where we shared our lolly find and had a picnic afternoon tea before heading back down to the bottom again.
Phew, what an energetic afternoon !!

Josh leading the way - let the race begin!
Lots of lollies, drinks and muffins at the top
All the boys on top of the world !
A slower pace as we head back down again
