I would be keen if there is a west ak meet up. I could only come if its a couple of weeks away though, as Jakob's had heart surgery so we're not allowed in public for another week or two so he doesn't get sick. ------------- DS (5yrs) and DD (3yrs) |

We're keen for whenever it suits everyone else, except we're in Palmy from the 17 Sep till about the 25th or so.
I'm happy to have it here too, but I'm not technically West, we're in Hillsborough. Or we could do Lollipops or Chipmunks or something? Ethan and Maya would like that. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

I would love to come. If you guys can perhaps make it over a weekend? I am way too freaking scared of driving there by myself. So will get hubby to do it so I can look at the map and direct him. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Chipmunks on Lincoln road would probably be best then as the Lollipops in New Lynn closed ages ago. ------------- formerly known as "Bee" Ethan ~ March 2003 Big 6 year old school boy! Micah ~ Aug 2008 ~ Smiley pants who loves telephones! |

Aww that's a shame. We should try to arrange something else, perhaps inside whilst the weather is still unpredictable (or predictable to rain all the time! lol)
I'm happy to have a small-ish group at my place on a Friday 
P.S Has your mobile dried out yet? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Yes! It is the phone that never dies (I secretly want a new one but can't justify it until the old one dies).
Meeting up somewhere on a fri sounds good. We are in Hillsborough which people always seem to think is west so I think we qualify  ------------- Mummy to Gabrielle and Ashley |

You might need to leave it near Elle more often then! LOL
I'm in the process of trying to get Caitlin on a waiting list at a Montesorri so looks like I'll be visiting those on Friday now. I thought 9 months notice would be ample (they take them from 2yrs old), apparently not! The one I wanted her to go to (the one Maya attends and the Gremlins will go to) is fully booked until 2010!  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Ok so it's time I put my 2cents in again us Westies are a bit hopeless. It's nearly Christmas so we have Labour weekend to get past then there is the Parent and Child show the following week. And a big meet up at Botany one weekend in November and we don't want to clash with that (because I want to go to that one too) so maybe once they set their date we can pick another date in November.
Anyway I've been trying to think of somewhere where the older kids can run around so far I've thought of the Cafe at Kiwi Valley I think it's called Flax now and Crystal Mountain as they have a play area just outside where you can sit and watch the kids while having a coffee. I haven't been to either for ages so not sure of prices etc. OR... we could just go to the mall there is a cafe downstairs in Westcity called Koffee Bar outside Farmers that is unreasonably priced (muffins are $2.50)they also sell yummy looking little cup cakes with cool icing and mini muffins for the kids. Any other ideas welcome and once we have a place and date we might be best to start a new thread. |

We went to Crystal Mountain when we were back in June and it was great. Really nice cafe and the kids had a great time feeding the animals. Zac still talks about holding a rabbit. ------------- Zac Mark - 30.11.05 Samara Ailsa - 13.08.07 |

Here's the link for http://www.crystalmountain.co.nz/ - Crystal Mountain They don't show prices which is annoying. But the food looks ok and They have a display cabinet as well so I'm sure they have muffins for something lighter. I'm not fussed where we go really just wanted to get the ball rolling again. ------------- Mum to Natasha Aroha 9/12/1995, Alexandra Makareta Waimarie 22/4/1998 and....Alyssa Frances Hopaea 18/03/2007
