Day 37/47  Today we headed over to Akaroa for the day and a little belated lunch out for my birthday.  The weather forecast was for a hot day, and we had a gorgeous lunch sitting outside a cafe opposite the beach.   After lunch it turned out to be an even hotter day than expected, almost too hot to enjoy wandering around.  Instead it was more of a wander from the shade of one tree to the next, and then to the ice cream shop!  It was nice to spend a few hours over there though; it's somewhere we always enjoy going too. 

As we walked through the town this morning, Hayden was quite fascinated by the tide and the water.  We had to keep stopping every few metres so he could have a look and discuss how deep it was.  I grabbed this photo (with my head stuck through the fence as you do!) as we were walking to lunch and Hayden had climbed down and sat down at the top of some steps.  I really love this photo of him as it's not very often you can get a really natural photo of him looking at the camera.  He actually looks so grown up in this photo!
