Mother's Day weekend

We left Friday afternoon for Dunedin. Dano had a hockey tournament to play so we arranged to stay at a holiday home in Purakanui which is near Dunedin. The holiday home was amazing with a gorgeous view. We hope to book this home and take Mom and Dad there when they are here.


Dano played 6 games of hockey in two days. That is a lot of time spent in a cold arena. The kids were so good, they hung in there with me. During one of Dan's games the kids skated on the rink beside the ice Dan was playing on. During the 5th game the kids and I went to Moana Pool and played in the wave pool and went on the water slides. We had a good weekend, even with hours spent in a arena.



We are in the midst of making plans for our return to Canada. I have been applying for jobs and should find out soon about where I will be placed. Housing is something that we are trying to sort out. If there is anyone that knows of a rental home with 3 bedrooms in the Chatham Kent area, Aug 1st, we would really appreciate your help.


Did I mention it was a lot of hockey this weekend?
Until next time,

Samantha

That is a lot of hockey in one weekend. You are such a kind wife and mom Samatha to be willing to spend Mother's Day weekend in an arena.
The views are gorgeous from the vacation home. I'm sure you'll miss those views.
Good luck with your planning of your move back to Ontario. I generally don't hear too much about real estate in Chatham but I'll keep an eye out for anything.
Anyways best of luck with the hunt.

Hi Sam, I have emailed a friend of mine in Chatham to see if she has anyone she knows who might be willing to rent. Fingers crossed.
