Summer Holidays, Day 27/47
Day 27/47 We realised today that we are half way through the last week of Stephen's holidays, so it was time to get out of the house again and make the most of the gorgeous day! It was a hot 30 degrees out, so what more could you want for than swimming and ice creams!
So after lunch we headed into Hagley Park, and if you know me or have been following my blog for a while, you will know that this is probably my favourite spot to head to in Christchurch. We have spent many, many a day there - and taken a lot of photos there! No matter what the season, it's a such a beautiful place to go to. And it certainly was busy there today!
After a quick play on the playground, the boys headed to the paddling pools. Austin had his first 'swim' at Hagley Park, and I got splashed lots by Hayden! Mind you, I definitely didn't mind the cool down! Then more playing at the park before it was time for an ice cream. And it was another first for Austin, his first icecream! He's had a couple of little tastes before, but this is the first time he's had a whole (little) icecream to himself. He absolutely loved it; once he got hold of it, there was no way he was going to let it go and he practically ate the whole thing, right down to the last bite of cone. It was so funny to watch! Hayden wouldn't even eat ice cream until he was about three!
With two special 'firsts' today, I couldn't decide on just one photo to share, so I'm sneaking a few extra in!
Firstly, swimming...
...and then icecream : )
