The Best Picture so far in 2012
Sunday 22nd April, 2012
This great photo was taken by Melissa on Sunday 22nd April after our whanau weekend in Levin. Joshua, Morgan and Karson came down from Hamilton to celebrate Josh's 26th belated birthday. We decided after a slow start on the Sunday to go to the Levin Adventure Park. This is a fantastic place to hang out with each other.
From left to right;
Sariah is happy being held by Mangaia looking relaxed, Emiliia is next to Koro not wanting to look at the camera, Baby Karson (with the Orzecki stare) who is being held by smiling Koro Ryszard. Tane is resting on Koro looking pretty proud and Nikau is not very happy then Clevelynd is holding Elisha who is about to start walking I hope.
Thanks Mel you have made helped this koro have a big smile as the photo is showing.
