Day 36  |  The forecast was for HOT, so first thing this morning (well 9am) we headed into the Margaret Mahy Family Playground that has just opened up in the centre of Christchurch.  The kids were keen and the temperature was already getting close to 30 degrees by the time we arrived.

The boys loved the big slides, the flying fox, and I had to drag them out of the water play area with bribes of icecreams!  It certainly was hot, and like many people have been commenting, unfortunately, there just isn't any shade there.  

We will definitely make a visit another day - maybe when it's just a little cooler!
