On Sunday the 10th of August, the Super Power Babies book launch took place at Sopheeze in Caroline Bay park in Timaru, and Granny, Grandaddy, Robin, Nate and I decided we really needed to be there to see our boy in print!

We flew down to Timaru on Saturday morning, thankfully with a full row all to ourselves - so much easier travelling with a baby that way! Although Nate does like to empty everything from the seat pockets....
We checked into a motel, and hung out with the wee man. Fish and chips, good wine, a warm comfy motel, and some very brisk cool air, made for a great start to the weekend. Sunday saw us all battling a few colds, and Nate some serious teething, but after a few coffees, food, a heat pump, and some pamol, we were set!

Here are a few photos of the afternoon, sadly not as many as we would have liked, but a great afternoon had by all. It was great to see Rachel and Sam again, hear them speak about the book and their experiences, and to meet some of the other families with SPB kids - particularly wonderful to meet Michelle and her son Adam, who I have got to know on the Unique NZ Facebook closed group. Really special to be there and be part of this fantastic initiative....

Back in the motel that evening, we celebrated with some Thai and more good wine! Nate and Grandaddy spent some time hanging out on the carpet chatting....
And on Monday morning, we headed off to the aviary at the park on our way out of town. Here is the little man checking out the parrots - he LOVES parrots so we had to take him here :-)
Plus a brief trip down memory lane for Mum and Dad...we went past the hotel where they spent the first night of their honeymoon - the Grosvenor Hotel in Timaru - some 48years ago! Here it is...a stunning three story number which took awhile to find, but we got there in the end!
After that we headed back to the airport for home, Nate and Grandaddy were both knackered! Here is Nate having a wee snooze before we boarded....unfortunately he then spent the next 1h20m flight awake as a result - we never seem to time that right!! It was also VERY turbulent flying into Wellington, so a very green Mummy had to leave Daddy to manage Nate for most of the flight and the one after it - first time I've had to use one of the little sick bags they give you (oh okay well maybe five of them) - the upshot is, no more small plane flights for me!! Nate on the other hand, thought the bumpy flight was a barrel of laughs....Hhhmm!
