On Wednesday it was such a wonderful day weather wise, Craig, Grace and I decided to head out for a wee road trip and picnic. We headed over to Banks Peninsular which is always beautiful to a bay I’ve never been to before, Le Bons Bay.  We had a lovely drive over listening to some great music. I recently got The Great New Zealand Songbook album, such great driving music, it’s got a bit of most well known NZ artists with their classic songs. Just the thing for a nice summer day.

We found a nice shady spot and had a scrummy lunch.We headed down to the beach over the sand dunes and found a sheltered spot to make sandcastles. Grace enjoyed every moment of paddling and exploring the beach. She has become a lover of sand as we got her a sandpit for Christmas, I think she thought she had found the world’s biggest sandpit! If my memory serves right it was the first time she has been able to splash in the waves, last time we hit the beach it was far to cold.

Anyhow I will probably find more to share over the weekend but thought I better keep up with our goal of Friday blogging. Take care
