Lake Brunner

Hi...
We were so excited to visit Lake Brunner this long weekend. It was our first official camp experience in New Zealand after nearly 6 years living here.
We were lucky enough to rent a permanent caravan from friends of friend who had their permanent caravan right next to ours.
Lake Brunner is BEAUTIFUL!!! It's a tiny town that has a massive lake surrounded by mountains. Such a peaceful place.
We were also lucky enough to go on a boat (owned by our friends) and sit on a private beach and relax. The water was COLD but Jude swam anyways and I kind of went about thigh deep (too cold to go further lol). That was our first day there.
The next day started off sunny so Jude and Brennen went to go fishing in the boat but unfortunately didn't catch anything, then after that it rained all night and the next day.
I was still a lovely experience and we are definitely going back soon - hopefully for a week after Christmas. yay!
Here are some pics from our weekend...

Off he goes.

He loved it.

My New Favorite Word...

I discovered a word this week that I'm absolutely in love with...
Sophrosyne (suh-fros-uh-nee)
Looking up the meaning there are many ways of explaining it - but this picture breaks it down in a way that I would love to live!

Home Updates...

We decided to give our bathroom a bit of a theme as it was looking a bit clinical and boring. So we decided on grey and yellow to make look more cohesive. 
We also updated our office nook as it was a big mess. It's all organized now with a bit of rearranging and throwing away of papers and junk. 
Lastly, my mom got us this beautiful duvet. Love the stag heads and patterns - a bonus -this duvet is so soft and lush. Mmmm.

Jude's 8th Birthday Party

So our Mr Handome had his 8th Birthday Party this last weekend. He wanted to have his party at the movies and at this time SpongeBob Out of Water was showing (perfect timing). He invited 8 friends, because he turned 8 and they had a wonderful crazy time!
