Remember "field day" in elementary school? Well, today was "cross-country" day at Ro's school. Every kid in the school walked over to Blake Park for a big race. The first-years went first, followed by each successive grade. Ro and MJ seemed to be more concerned with horsing around while running the race than actually winning it, but they had a good time. Sherry and Karla hung around to watch Tori finish her race, then headed for Mount Maunganui for their usual morning walk around the circuit trail. Afterwards, they hit the shops down in Papamoa Beach where Sherry picked Ro up some new shoes.

While coming home from a morning walk around The Mount earlier this week, Sherry, Karla, and friend Theresa noticed a barbecue grill at Pilot Bay that they hadn't noticed before. One thing led to another, and they decided to have a cook-out today. As luck would have it, today was probably the coldest, windiest day so far this autumn. The kids didn't seem to care, and the ladies were bundled up in jackets and scarves, drinking wine to keep warm. The hot steaks, sausages, and grilled veggies never tasted so good.
