The Tuesday with Tyler and Abby leaving on Wednesday

Hi,

It was Tyler and Abby's last full day in Wellington yesterday (Tuesday).  We got home a little late from work and I cooked tea.  Basil pesto pasta - turns out it is Tyler's favourite.  Well, we all like it.  Although I could only find macaroni elbows as the pasta shape.

As we ate tea, we talked about the holiday a bit.  And as a summary of her experience, this is what Abby declared when we discussed the Gilbert household:

Every day is an adventure.

Hahahah.  I think she meant it kindly.  I know their house is a busy one, but she seems to think we're slightly disorganised or something.  Mike and I prefer to think of it as honing a flexible outlook and rolling with it.

They enjoyed the ferry trip and the camping, so I've added pics of that.

New glasses for Christmas

Ngakuta Bay fun - we jumped off that jetty

The view from Sarah and Hamish's house. Worth the steps!

Nothing but net

Take a shot

We've dropped them at the airport after getting up at 3.40am.  Ohhh - early.  Mike and I stayed until 6am and then Mike dropped me at work.  Super early.  I will try and leave a bit early.  And get to bed at a decent time tonight.

Have a brilliant day.  I will be sad when I get home and the house is a lot less full of people.  Because I loved having Tyler and Abby here.

Love,
Angela
