The endless field trip day

We were heading to Auckland to the dentist. When doing something like that I like to make a fun stop too.

My mum was also coming into Auckland from Thailand....and her plan was late and late and really late...so we had to keep extending the day.

Fish market was great.

DS5 got to see a flounder which the cat sole from the fishmonger in his latest book.

We got to see eels...just like they caught with grandpa.

They were totally amazed by crayfish and spent 10mins watching the live swim around...this followed on into the wearable arts show we saw later at the museum...they were very excited to see the outfit. 

The water front gave us hours of fun.

The container with books and piano were interesting to...Dd8 wants to bring down some old books next dentist visit.

Water play...oh every child's dream

DD8 was so excited to see this 'sky bridge'...it's just like I made in minecraft...let's go and see!

Totally loved it!

This matches our social studies know your place and 'our tree'

Lots in the news at the moment so not their greatest love...

So we were stuck in Auckland late with two tired kids playing games on their iPads...had to laugh as they started playing 'scratch' computer club...and maths fish.
