Our Big Day Out

Miss K and I had a big day out today. It was good because the sun came out as well. Our first stop was the Fisherman's Memorial. I found this boat that was just my size but I couldn't get it to go on the water.Next stop was a cafe for a cool drink. Miss K said she wanted a bear and the lady bought me a ginger beer! Silly lady!!After that we had lunch down at Tahunanui Beach. I took my umbrella so I didn't get sun-burnt. I took a towel to sit on so my bottom didn't get wet like it did yesterday. I brought along a picnic lunch of bread and cheeses. It was nice to sit in the sand-dunes and look at the people walking along the beach. It was still a bit cold for me to want to go for a swim.
Next stop was our second attempt at finding the geocache in the church grounds near school. Miss K had emailed the person that had first started a geocache there in the first place and she had a few extra clues to find the cache without using a GPS. She looked 2 metres south of the tree with &%$#@ and there hidden under some bushes was the geocache. Miss K dug it up and had a look inside. There was a little notebook with a record of lots of other poeople who had been to visit. It had been started in 2004.While we were at the church we heard action at the go-karts so went to see if Dino was racing and he was so I got Miss K to take this photo before Dino went out to race. Can you see me???Seeing the day was so nice we headed down to Rabbit Island (Moturoa). On the way there we saw Trevor selling ice-creams from his bright yellow bus. Trevor let me lick the bottom of the ice-cream cone. Yum!When we got to Rabbit Island Miss K took this photo of me looking back towards Nelson city.

After that big day out I went home for an early night because I was worn out.
