Lachie and I went on a Kindy trip to Napier to visit the Aquarium and Marineland. Here are some of the "favourites" of the day - just a few!
Stingrays!
Sharks!
Funny "clown" diver, here blowing bubble rings
An interactive story of Pania of the Reef, here turning listening ears on! 
Up close and personal...tortoise
Blue-tounged skink, named "Bluey" - that's Lachie shaking his hand!
And at Marineland, the dolphin...
Little Blue Penguin, named Onion, came over for a good look at Lachie after she had a pat from all the kids
Lachie liked the "bigger than Paddy" bird
And the many pools of seals
Although I found it more exhausting than a school trip I was in charge of, we all had so much fun (more adults than kids asleep on the bus on the way home!), can't wait til the next one!
Lachie has been drawing pictures of all the creatures all day, except when he was helping with the laundry renovations and "biscuiting" with Daddy this afternoon! (NEW laundry photos to come...)
