Beach fun!

Spring is here! Okay so it seems silly saying that, when it was bucketing down with rain outside, a couple of hours ago - but Friday & Saturday it was definately here!


Friday me & Gaby went out to Sumner for an hour or two - to kill some time before we had to pick Nan up at the airport. It was a glorious day - the sun was shining, there wasn't any wind, it was just really really awesome weather! Gaby loved playing with the sand, and running around, like a lunatic, but I think her favourite part was playing in the little rocky cave area!!!!!! She was exploring, climbing all over the place - she never really stopped! After we had finished playing in the cave & sand - it was time for an ice cream!!!! Needless to say Gaby got verrrrrry messy & sticky -but she had such a fun time eating it, and I got some great photos! After we left Sumner, we took a quick detour out to Lyttelton, so Gaby could go through the tunnel, and see the big ships at the harbour - she loved it too, kept telling everyone that she'd been through the tunnel, and it was 'cool'.


Saturday Jason was here, and we decided it would be nice to take Gaby out to the beach again - so we took her out to New Brighton. She ran around, built sand castles & dug holes, then we had a quick play on the playground - and went for a walk along the Pier.. I think Gaby thought it was pretty cool, being above the water. We watched a couple of surfers for awhile, but the water was too calm & I think we saw them riding one wave! We had another play on the playground on the way back to the car, and then headed to the Palms (mall)! All that activity obviously did its trick, because on the way home from the Palms, Gaby fell asleep - and proceeded to have an 80 minute nap!

Of course after getting used to the nice, warm, sunny weather - it is now grey & cold outside... typical!
