Easter Weekend

Bay of Islands to spend the weekend on Urapukapoka. A sweet little Island just off the mainland. Oh man, it was soo fun. We didn't really plan it out that well, we just got a bunch of stuff and threw it in a few cars and a trailor and headed out. It was funny because I would often make the comment about how white trash we were, and it was so true, but it was so fun. Our tarps and tents would be blowing over in the wind, and our site all messy cause we were out having fun most of the time. We would run out of gas for the stoves and the neighboring campers would donate gas and food. The real way to camp. We took Brads boat out and would fish, and spear fish, and snorkel, and surf behind the boat. At night we would all lay around looking at the stars telling jokes and making fun of eachother(mostly of Brad). We caught so much fish we didn't know what to do with it. Chloe and Brad saw a hammerhead and massive sting rays. It was beautiful. We camped from Friday afternoon till Monday afternoon. Well, we left Friday afternoon, but because everybody pulled an all nighter thursday night, we didnt leave with enough light on friday to make it to the island, so we just slept in the cars and shipped over to the island the next morning. It will always be an adventure to remember.
