Two more Canadians kind of escaped to Kiwiland

My parents have arrived!! That's right we're bringing over family now. Well they are not the first my brother Jess had that honour back in August.

They arrived at 8:30am on Tuesday (December 8th) and will be here 30 days! How sweet is that. We have christmas, our summer atm, a trip to Napier planned and lots of stuff in and around Wellington.

So they got in and we headed to their place in Newtown where they began to unpack. We headed downtown organized their banking, got a cellphone for them, met Blaise for lunch, picked up their rental car and headed to our home in Island Bay for a visit. Mom was impressed on how they have built on the hills; she feels Halifax could learn from them. Both were suitably impressed by the views off our decks, Dad in particular couldn't get enough of them. He was so impressed he collected my outdoor beanbags, borrowed a hoodie and headed out for some fresh air.

He got comfy and then bam! nap time for an hour and a half, I think jet lag caught up with him. He wants to get rid of the cherry tree blocking our view on the lower deck and if the property management gives us the go ahead I'm sicking him on that tree.
