Chantelle's Birthday || Part Deux

After the beach and dinner we had a bonfire. S'mores . . . Marshmallows . . . Tried not to let Koda (dog) eat everything. We girls were just standing talking {kind of quietly} when we saw Nathan (Chantelle's bro) come round from the other side of the fire . . . Umm . . . What did you just throw on?! . . . Nothing! . . . *silence* . . . BANG! . . . Yep, pretty sure that's what nothing sounds like when it explodes!

And yeah, I didn't take my camera out . . . Sorry 😛

Cupcakes! Passion fruit and such with choc icing . . . Yum!

Coffee! Yep, perfect photo op 😛

Movie screen the size of a wall anyone?! #love

Chantelle's Birthday || Part Un {Beach}

So one of my long-time friends turned 20 earlier this year. (It's crazy, I'm pretty sure we were only eight a couple years ago :P) I hadn't seen her for AGES, but I managed to make it up to her place for this occasion. It's a fair bit easier now that I'm a fully-licensed driver and I can head up on my own! In the end only blogger-friend Kayger and I went, but the three of us enjoyed a few hours together. 

After feeding the animals we headed down to the beach for a few hours:

Last Dargaville Holiday Post

On Thursday, 27th April we visited our friends the Orchards who live in Kaiwaka.

Chantelle on Socks, Monique on Poppy

Diana on Beau, being led by Natalia

Mrs Orchard leadind Danielle on Poppy



Monique on Socks, led by Chantelle and Diana

Danielle with Poppy

Danielle writes in her diary:
"..We went and rode Donkey and the horses I mean two horses. The donkey's name is Poppy and the small horse's name is Beau and the big horses name is Socks and Natalia rides Beau but I'm too big for it. It's such a shame Natalia can ride bare back [I think its a shame that Danielle can't], it's so cool and nobody needs to hold her!"

They have this hanging up in their dining room, I just had to photograph it!

Friday 29th. Home time - my favourite day of the entire holiday lol!
We eventually left Dargaville to late for my liking, after stops at various shops!
We had lunch at Bee Jays, yeah, um, did you know I had a cafe??? haha!

cool sign, aye?

After too long driving and I can't remember what else, we finally got home in time for dinner, and to unpack a little bit before watching the Royal Wedding...

Our holiday was over, and I was glad to be home!
