Here's a close up of a rainbow bird:

Karina invited us over for a BBQ luncheon and playdate this Sunday. We got to see Simon's impressive hand-built aviary teeming with quails, ring necked parrots, and parakeets. He also had some rainbow parrots.

Very cool to see all the critters in action.

The kids loved their no spring trampoline and the massive collection of Legos.

Simon gets to go on. 2 month carpentry work trip with theNZ army to maintain the science bases on Antarctica in Jan and Feb. How cool is that work trip?
