The hot sun, activities, Waiata, Mean feeds, whakapapa, rewana, beach trips, fines, sleeping on walls, the drifter, fireworks, snor-ing, teams, tent city, spotlight, Duncan’s freezer, Mau Rakau, the missing Hawaiians, Bobby Brown dance moves, prezzies and whanau was a long time ago but our reunion was off the hook!! A lot of fun was had trying to plan each day’s activities not too mention long nights but it really made me appreciate those who did this job in the past, too much aunties, and uncles. Gotta give a big ups to Becs, Ngaire Emma, Leonnie and Har-old for making sure our we all had things to do everyday there was never a dull moment.
