The BIG Splash



Today we spent the day down on Wellington's waterfront soaking up the beautiful day, looking at all the sculptures along Queens Wharf. After the ACDC concert the previous night, town was packed and pumping with energy - so we decided to add some of our own.

We had a ride on the paddle boats (Huddy swam alongside the boat for the entire half-hour we were in the water), ran and did flips inside the water-Zorb, listened to music and buskers along the way, devoured our favourite ice-cream (vanilla bean!) ... and then Daddy & Josh jumped off the wharf into Wellington Harbour - and oh, what a splash Daddy made - many shrieks of laughter! Josh didn't quite manage to jump off the top, but did so from half-way down the ladder.

And in the evening we packed up our portable barbeque and headed to the beach with friends. Home afterwards to nude-dance on the trampoline whilst being squirted with the hose (no, NOT the adults!!) and, suffice to say, all of us were rather tired by the end of it it all. Oh that lovely feeling of sun-kissed skin and a sun-tan and physical exhaustion at the end of a gorgeous day.


I dare you to walk the plank Daddy !

Okay we have got this far ... now time for team talk about strategy

Shikes Daddy, tis a long way down, are you sure WE want to do this?

We did it Daddy, we did it !! Phew both boys safely in the water!

Daddy is so proud of this splash - a mother of all bombs !
