mamas day bike ride & picnic
I had the best mothers day honestly. I woke up to a cute card, and some earrings from my lads.
diamonds are a girls best friend!
Then Adrian made some delicious smelling quiches in the oven and loaded the bikes on top of his work pick up and we were off! We parked in Kohi (Kohimara for non-Aucklanders). and unloaded the car and got our bikes sorted quickly for a bike along the bays. It was so lovely and Leon loved it too. I used to love roller-skating along the bays, and I love biking too. I honestly haven't used my dream bike enough. Yes, I own my dream bike. I'm a lucky lady.
Pedal to the metal or however that saying goes (I’ve always been bad at sayings). It is so great along the bays at is so safe (you don't have to cross roads) and there are lots of people out walking, or biking and sometimes even roller-skating ! There is a special lane for biking. In this photo I am overtaking Adrian aka not in the lane, clearly a rebel.
Cutest biking buddy ever. And he has the cutest helmet with robots all over.
The world looks better from a bike I tell you!
And I get a little snap of them when I ride past - Leon is all ready…the little cheeky monkey!
City in the background, its an obligatory pic.
Eating our yummy food. We matched it with some villa maria wine (Adrian is taking me there in 2 Saturdays time! A lingering mothers day surprise…they are the best. The last time I was there I was pregnant and could only take a sip of Adrian’s wine even if there is yummy food there too it will be fab to do BOTH!) and some choc cookies I made the other day. Anyway we were cheersing! Leon was cheersing, we are scared he will break our glasses one day but today he was gentle. It was very cute. Then it got funny when he cheers me with his quiche...
Leon doesnt like tomatoes at all which is clearly illustrated by this picture…there is a better photo of his screwed of face, but in it I have a face fill of pie too…its like our blooper.
& what a view we have!
Crumbs are everywhere…
Then clearly it was time for sand between the toes time, aint nothing like it!
He found an abandoned spade that some kids must have left behind and went to work. His cuteness kills me. I gave him a shell to show him, he looked at it, took it off me and then he started using this itty bitty shell as a spade! haha so funny. Priceless memories xox.
