Recently we were fortunate to have family visit us in Samoa.  The days were busy and we enjoyed playing tourists, but boys can get weary while waiting for women to finish shopping and taking photos So the little fellas kept a visual diary of the family visit, recording funny memories in a small book.

I am in a cyber-less space as once again my internet is non-existent.  So I have popped down to the workplace of the domestic surf god to submit a discussion paper for Uni and do a quick blog. For this post I decided to include some family photos.  This is the boys and I at Easter mass in Savaii.  We were spoilt with Ulu's, a choir of angels and an alter awash with bling.
