Highlight

It's been a funny old week...I wish I'd blogged sooner, but oh well, here I am...

The Highlight would have to be on Wednesday, when our ex-Nanny, Maree, and I took the Twins down to Oamaru for a swim. Oamaru is a town by the sea, 80km south of here. It was a Playcentre trip; eight parents went down, some lucky ones (like me) had a helper. Oamaru has public baths which are much more "toddler-friendly" than any of the pools here in Timaru. There are little rock pools, floating toys, and a shallow pool much, much warmer than our indoor pool here. Maree changed Zoe in the Ladies, while I got Ben dressed for water play in the Mens. This was all new to the Twins, as we usually get changed in a Family Room! Soon, we were in the water...I got a couple o' photos taken by others; I only hope they came out OK!! The Twins LOVED the water, and the Hot Spa, too. Most of the other parents (I was the only Dad) wore t-shirts & shorts...why, I'll never understand... On the way back, we stopped at The Gardens for a bite to eat. The Twins loved the Elephant slide! It was as big as a real Elephant!
