Summer fun





We have been trying to take advantage of the remaining summer weather - the predicted low tonight is 2 degrees...
We go downtown to Hagley park to walk through the lovely gardens ad the beautiful downtown. Aya and Rowan like the river best of all. It is very shallow, don't worry...
We feed the ducks, and make fishing poles to poke the eels with.

We went on a "moa hunting" expidition (aka a hike) in the port hills. It was a fairly short hike, but we had a great time. We didn't get to catch and skin any moas (owing to their being extinct), but we did encounter a friendly fan-tail that follwed us for a while, even landing on Trent's outstretched walking stick!

And of course, water is always involved in playing outside...


So above are photos of summer fun:
