My baby turned 20 today...

[carole]

yep my youngest melissa is no longer officially a teenager, gosh how time has flown, she is having a great birthday, she went off with her boyfriend to Taupo today, about 2 hours drive from our city, a lovely place by a picture perfect lake and mountains, not far from the snow if you want to go there, i was lucky enough to win some accomodation, entry to the hot pools and the huka jet boat ride, so they will be having a lot of fun.

here is a pic of the boat ride she will be going on tomorrow,and beautiful lake taupo, yep wishing i was there,the weather has been awful here, raining cats and dogs, but today the sun is out most of nz, so all good

Taupo is a geo-thermal area, and very tourist orientated, also a bit too close to the volcanoe that erupted a week or so ago, so hopefully it will be nice and quiet while she is there, it is a favourite place of mine, as i used to stay there as a child on my school holidays with my adopted aunty and uncle.It was also the first place we lived when we arrived from scotland, however it did not look like it does today, is a very pretty place ,lots of shops and things to do, was quite different in 1957.

SO HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY DARLING DAUGHTER, and i hope you are having a ton of fun!!!

Feeling old yet Carole??? I know the feeling - my grandkids just had big birthdays. Granddaughter turned 20 on the 11th, and grandson was 16 on the 15th. We're not really that old, are we????

Hoping Melissa had a wonder birthday.
