More fun in Town Basin!

The kids went on a camping trip overnight with another boat , Provider,they took 12 kids! They all had a good time- even got visited by 5 possums Maya on her way to the camping trip!
Once the kids got back, we were off with Wesly and Jacquie for a mystery tour and roast lamb dinner. Our mystery tour took us to Whau ( pronounced WOW) Valley Dam and then a petting zoo. the kids love that!Wesly and Jacque and Steve in the bunny cage. complete with doves and parachetes notice Steve's little friend in his hand! don't leave home without it.
these flowers reminded me of our lilacs- don't smell like them but kinda look like them. oh so pretty. I took lots of flower pictures , the pink one at the beginning of this post is my favorite. not sure what kind it is, if you know please tell me.
one of the many birds around! trivia what kind of bird is this?
just because you haven't seen enough sheep here in NZ!
-the kids loved this guy! We think its an Alpaca not a LLama - anyone know for sure?
Even Steve had fun feeding the animals! He loved to torment the goats!!

in the bunny cage, Kyle got to hold a rat, Maya a bunny and Emma a guinea pig that looked like the one she had in school called Cinnamon
Kyle's favorite - the Emu!! he spent a lot of time with this guy,eventually getting to pet himand the fabulous roat lamb !! we had a real traditional Kiwi dinner! complete with pavlova for desert.
