My birthday on Friday night and Pete arrived with Billie and Tamai around 8pm so off we went to the farm on saturday am. We walked to the river, and then Ben came over so the five of us headed to the front fence, and picked the apples to make a pie for lunch. The kids had plastic bags each so we filled these with the tiny apples, which taste slighly like cox's orange. Tamai munched through 5 - 6 apples thinking he might eat them all. Back to play on the mound of dirt from the well. and Tamai declared he was king of the castle while Billie declared she was princess of everything. I peeled the apples while Ben chopped them into quarters and the pie was baked and served with icecream. A hit with us all. Dinner was cherios, and not met with great enthusiasm so they were called farm sausages, and down they went. Pete came over by train on sunday and I took the kids in turns for rides on the farm bike amongst squeals of delight from all three of them. Billie, Tamai and I took the train home while Pete and DB headed back by car. Tamai was by the window, on the edge of his seat declaring, 'this is so exciting'. Great weekend.
