A nice breakfast with Auntie Sue, Trixie, and Bella, and we were off looking for more adventures.

Gran had stayed at Nan's house, so we picked her up there, and Bria had a heyday checking out Nan's turtle collections. "There's more over there! There's more!" Nan gave her a tour and told her about the origins of many of them, blaming Uncle Mark for most! She then presented Bria with a turtle for her own collection, which she promptly named Sandy. Sandy is purple and sparkly, with an aqua blue tummy.

As we left Te Awamutu, we relived a few of Justin and Garth's childhood memories, such as the "humpback bridge" on the way to their grandparents' house. Bria thought it was pretty great, and kept asking to go over the bridge again! Maia was not quite feeling it.

We also drove by the farm and school where their mother grew up, and a few other spots of interest. Justin enjoyed pointing his memories out to the family, many of them things he hadn't seen in years and years.
