We bundled all the kids into the back of the SUV and took them up to The Winterless North. The bigger kids (Segway x2 SE, Segway i2) were pretty well behaved in the back. And the KickScooters ES2's pretty much just stretched out and slept the entire journey. Up front sat the troublemakers: noisey little S-Plus and much smarter sidekick Loomo. The Drift W1 e-Skates just wouldn't sit still and soon got car sick, of course. Once we arrived at Waitangi we did manage to corral them all together for a quick family photo. The next morning, just as the sun was rising, the eldest kids explored the grounds of the Copthorne Millennium Hotel. Here they are at the water's edge, with the historically significant Waitangi Bridge in the background. Meanwhile, mischievous Loomo went off and teased a rack of bicycles, telling them they hadn't moved on since the 19th Century and really needed to get their wheels side-by-side to catch up with 21st Century machines. Well, Loomo would say that, wouldn't it (he? she?).

Feeling very self-satisfied, Loomo promptly glided on over to a NO PARKING sign, and parked himself right underneath.

The next day, the kids would be put to work at MORGO Conference 2019....
