On Saturday we had the ward picnic. It was great just to relax and do just about nothing. with friends and family
The Church kids all enjoyed themselves with a large water fight after lunch to finish it off. With the temperature being in the mid 30's it was a great way for them to cool down.

Blue Lotus Water Gardens
The blue lotus water gardens are open for show from about mid December until mid March.
Last year we missed out due to to much happening around us with the moving into a new house.
So this year, the plans were made. they are in Yarra Junction , ands that about 1:40 minutes away (1:55 min if there is an accident on the freeway)
The gardens are bordered by two streams that supply plenty of water from the nearby hills. The gardens are for water plants with plenty of ponds.

The lotus plants on sale were of reasonable price. And this one was perfect so we now have one. The first of many I hope.

Werribee Mansion
The Werribee Mansion is also not far from home. But it has taken us a year to get to it.
The Mansion is as expected a large country estate from the past. We'll be going there again, as it has fine gardens and grounds.

Werribee Rose Gardens
The Rose Gardens are not far from home.
This year they are open after the drought.
They have a long way to go as I am use too the Te Awamutu rose gardens.
