The Wairau

After a trip to the airport the other night, and having learnt a little about the major river in our region, we took a trip to the Wairau bar.
It's not our usual beach spot, and that makes it all the more exciting in terms of adventures to have....
moving great big logs to make ships in the water.... discovering geko's in the crack of a piece of driftwood...... finding many many many treasures..... lots of water play..... playing soldiers on the hilllside..... and then having to go (or march, as soldiers do ,of course) home because the sun was getting low  and goats still had to be milked... ... a good way to spend the evening ....

Finding the gecko

It was a funny gecko (apparantly)
