Messing about on the river

Yesterday was (suprise,suprise) another beautiful day so we headed back to the Ashley Gorge for a picnic with the boys. It's about an hours drive from us but a fantastic place for a day out. Great play park and open spaces and everyone goes in the river ... either swimming with canoes or dingy's ... it's fantastic. Cameron was very quick to get changed into his togs and wanted to head into the river so I rolled up my trousers and off we went. The river is mostly very shallow but there is the odd hole which people use for swimming and it's suprisingly warm. Ewan was feeling a little under the weather with an ear infection so stayed close to dad at the play park after throwing a few stones in the river. We topped the day off by driving home past the Waimakariri Gorge before heading back for some tea. It was a really nice way to finish off the holiday as Dad and Ewan went back to work/kindy today.



Local wildlife .....

The water was so amazingly clear ...... beautiful.






The Waimakariri Gorge ...... Venue for the next picnic maybe!
