The new bike track by the stream

 Tried out the new track near the Waipa Mill.  Lots of ponga trees for the kids to crash into.  An awesome stream to play in.  Anneke was reluctant to get into the water - "What happens if our clothes get wet?"  Simple - They get wet!

Going backwards isn't as easy as it looks.

It's easier going forward

See, Ruth didn't fall in.

Santa's mess

Ready for the lake

 

Santa was not able to control Rudolph, and left sleigh marks on the table, and reindeer poo all over the table and floor.  The presents were found in a sack near the ceiling.  After lunch, we all went to the lake at the base of the Rotomas.  Cool water, great fun for the children to try out all their new water toys.  Awesome Christmas day.
