Picnic in the park

Today it was such a great day that I made some sandwhiches and drink and then went off to Tui Glen Reserve for a picnic.  I remembered my camera to do a few more of the Dare to explore challenges which was to take a photo reading in a park or on the beach and then to take a photo at an Auckland landmark.

I'm sure that would qualify as a landmark.

The kids have now asked to do more picnics in other parks around the city and since there are a large number of parks I'm sure we will be having heaps of picnics.

Summer holidays 2013

The kids are signed up to the Dare to explore challenge through the Auckland Libraries and are finding the challenges exciting, they have made their own snowflake and designed their own chocolate bar (glad I'm not eating some of the combinations they came up with), named places, parks, roads in New Zealand starting with every letter of the alphabet and done a timeline for a grandparent or someone famous.  There are still a few to do but they have to the end of Jan.  at least it should get them interested in reading and thinking about what they are reading.
