What a day! Ups and downs

Before I get started, if some of you could take a few minutes at some point and comment on Carter or Braden's blog, it would be appreciated.  

Today promised to be a good day - penguins, Moereki boulders, mini putt, seals...well, things didn't go exactly as planned.   After a pretty good night's rest, we had hoped to hit the road around 10:00 south to the Moereki boulders, a couple of dozen or so spherical boulders  that rest on the shoreline, some as big as six feet or so.   Kerri and the boys went to the park beside our "Holiday Park" while I took a few minutes to get somethings together.  I was out to prove that I Kerri wasn't the only one who could prepare for a day.   So, after scurrying around frantically getting things together, checking out some things online, I rushed out to drop some things in the trunk.  I looked back in the room, thought to myself, Kerri would like me to clothes the curtains to stop any would be thieves from breaking in for our stuff, shut the trunk and went in to do so.   Little did I realize that no car doors were open and I had just left the keys in the trunk. Needless to say, our little plan on leaving at ten was now upended.  Two hours, $90 later, we were on our way.
