Completing the 'Grandparent Tour of New Zealand' we shot back up to Auckland to welcome Jenni home from Canada.

Max and Marjan were also in Auckland over Easter fishing (again) with my Uncle Bill and Aunty Ineke. I headed over to their place one afternoon where Elsie got to spend some time with her 92 year old Great Grandmother.Elsie with her Oma |

We were lucky to be able to spend such good quality time in with Jenni and Maggie over the Easter break. These are some shots from a nice walk we all took down to the Point.

After my afternoon visit I headed out to West Auckland to meet up with Joel at Sam and Nik's place in Glen Eden. They put on a great spread and we were all surprised by an impromptu visit by Kit, Liss and their only days old daughter, beautiful Maia. I couldn't believe how small and delicate she seemed. I literally can't believe that Elsie was ever that small (and Elsie was two pounds lighter!). Nyoooom! It's already going so fast.

Jenni spoilt us with her hospitality all week long. One particularly memorable meal was these Vietnamese Prawn cakes that Jenni made for us. Great food, great company.
