Joseph loves the new Bear Park - he is now a Tui (having bypassed completely the Kiwi stage - this took a bit of explaining and reassurance!). There is lots of lovely space and resources for the children.
However, three days into Dilworth, Joseph had a massive wipeout on the pebbly concrete path and came with a mask of scabs. Here's a selection of photos documenting the healing process. It actually healed remarkably quickly and with little scarring. As I write this (in January 2010), he just has a little piece of pink skin on his cheek that gets redder when he gets angry!
As part of Auckland Heritage Week we went out on a coal engine tug boat. It is a free trip run by the Ports of Auckland. We went last year as well but not on this boat. Joseph was scared at first and took a while to warm up and start exploring. We went down into the bowels of the boat into the heat of the engine (nosiy and smelly too!) but I couldn't get him down to the lowest deck where the coal shovellers were! Joseph's wearing his "fireman's jacket"
