Outing

 Out checking out the waterfront, waiting the kids jumping off the wharf 🐟 CR

I really enjoyed rolling the balls for points, the heavy balls went slower and I used my left hand because it has less power. I loved talking about it and examining the balls before I rolled them into the bucket at the end of the table

Outings in the sun

 Last week I went to visit Rotary park in Maungatapu. We sat and played eye spy, talked about all the things we can see and hear. We could see a lot of water, trees and houses in the distance. I talked about how I use to balance on balancing beams when I was younger. I love telling my friends about all my childhood memories.
