The past two weekends, we've spent at home in Hawera. It's been a welcome break in the travel action and we've had some low stress family fun as well. On the 15th of November we took in our first movie at the local theater. It's a small place with only two screens, but the theater seats were nice and comfortable and there was no crowd. We watched Interstellar. I liked it. Laura and the kids, not so much.
Hawera has several nice city parks. King Edward park is about five minutes away and it has plenty of stuff to keep the kids busy. The park also has a lovely rose and several other flower gardens. Steven and I kicked the rugby ball around and Jack amused himself with the ducks and the playground equipment.

Last weekend, we visited Naumai park on the east side of town. It has a duck pond and a few walking trails. It's nice and sheltered, so the wind isn't much of an issue there.
Naumai is near the city cemetery, so we walked over and had a look. Laura found a potential relative.

I chased the kids out of the house to King Edward yesterday. We fed the ducks and played hide and seek.
