I know it's Tuesday but did anyone get up to anything exciting over the weekend?
I did the Harcourt Park to Poet's Park Upper Hutt loop with my eldest as part of Bike the Trail on Sunday. It's the furtherest any of my kids have biked (about 12km return) and TBH possibly the furthest I've biked. I deliberately took the most capable so it didn't feel like a long trip in the end.
The normal Bike the Trail goes from Harcourt Park in Upper Hutt to the Riverbank Carpark in Lower Hutt, about 21km, but they do a shorter loop track for people like me taking kids.
Edit: autocorrect keeps changing Upper Hutt to Upper Hurt 😆
Actually yes I did, I was taken to a local festival and saw this tree.
It's really cool, all day they let all the kids do free art and craft activities and display the results.
That's awesome! My kids love going to places and doing drawing/art despite all the art stuff we have at home. I guess it's not the same.
Yeah I think communal art making is a pretty different experience.
This thing has all these stations with different supplies and adult helpers, and it's part of a bigger art festival. They even get to make pottery.
Oh wow, that's cool! My kids would love doing some pottery.
So would I. Hopefully I'll get well enough soon and do some!!!
Unfortunately I have a covid vax next month so that will probably make me out for a few weeks but who knows.
