As usual Jakeb visited me this Friday and this time he goes to his playgroup. Never watched playgroup so it seems very interessting I never had done so much kids photography in my life.

Melanie the mother of Jakob and sister of Blair picked me up and we went to the Western Springs Park. It´s a beautiful park near the zoo and it´s got lots of goose, ducks and other birds… Took several pictures of native New Zealand birds like the Pukeko and the Tui. And of course there was a big playground for Jakob…

Believe it or not – I was bowling. Had lost all games but my performance increased. Maybe I need more to be trained. After bowling we went all together (Adrian, Paul and me) to a pub to meet Nicole and Michael. We had a great time and lots of fun.

Usually on Friday I see little Jakob, the 2 1/2 year old little son of Blair’s sister Melanie. He is so funny mostly a bit obstinately. He loved to be in the center of all attention. And as well he loves sports like kicking the ball, jumping on his trampoline and driving his kids vehicles.

Blair‘s mother is a passionate dancer and she teaches for years Arabian dance classes. So this evening I joined the class. But stop – I was not dancing… I just watched the class. Was pretty interesting, nice moves. But actually funny as well. I prefer to take pictures or write.
