Jodie and Rochelle flew out Friday morning for Noumea (New Caledonia) with the Tongan National swimming team for the Oceania games. So, for our first weekend without Jodie we all headed over to Eau for the weekend with Tony and Eva at their Deep Resort. The weather was far from perfect, wind and rain all weekend but that didn't dampen a single thing. As usual we tried to squeeze in as much as possible,weather permitting. After Lyndon spent the night drinking with Tony and the boys and enjoying a midnight snack of freshly cooked suckling pig, it was an early rise from the kids and down to the beach.
Dyl and Robert began to build a tree house out of drift wood.
While the boys built in one tree the girls (Little Dilema, Ata, Larissa and Emily) started in the next one.
As the rain came down Em and Ata moved back down onto solid ground. The rest of us were forced to take shelter under the branches of the trees.
After a little shopping trip to the local Chinese shop it was back to the beach. Low tide brought with it a new cubby house.
Em and Rissa were the main master minds behind this creation and it had everything - cooking area, padded floors, spa pool and even a soup bowl.
Big Dilema (Yes, mother to Little Dilema) prepared a few Tongan meals for us under orders from Eva who was stuck back in Tonga as she was too sick to catch the ferry over. Meals included BBQ, umu and suckling pig.
Dylan and Robert snuck off down the beach in the rain to start a fire "Man V's Wild" style and it actually worked.
Some ghost crab chasing between showers and we were all ready for bed.
Only problem all the girls had moved in to watch videos.
