Sat 28th Feb: Last year we didn’t have a 28th February because we crossed the International Date Line whilst flying from LA to NZ and jumped from 27th to the 29th. That’s something I haven’t yet managed to explain to the boys!
Today it rained and poured all day and was chilly. We got up and out early and drove across Christchurch to Science Alive. This is a hands-on science centre for kids (and big kids!) to come along and try different science concepts. In the morning Edward and Peter were at a study session using K’Nex to rescue a Lego woman stuck at the top of a K’Nex tower. Jonathan and I explored the centre, which has changed many of its exhibits since we were here a year ago. After lunch we all continued enjoying the different sections and all had a 30 minute session on a climbing wall. The boys took some photos of flowers and plants earlier in the month for a competition at Science Alive and the display here includes some of each of them.
Back at the campsite the boys went for a swim in the camp pool while I prepared tea. We ate quickly and went to the camp movie room to watch Simpsons The Movie. Then Steve put the kids off to bed and I returned to the movie room to watch one of the Indiana Jones films. Not my thing, but nice to be out of the motorhome for the evening.
