With our niece and nephew visiting, we had three children under 4 in the house. It's like Toys 'R' Us exploded in our living room.But now we get to celebrate Boxing Day, aka December 26th. In Christchurch, the place to be on Boxing Day is, evidently, Hagley Park. We headed there along with the rest of the city, their coolers and their picnic blankets.
Christchurch has a picnic
The park was full of families playing and picnicking. It was really a beautiful sight. There certainly are some benefits to having christmas in the summertime.
Hagley Park has a paddling pool which was just chocka full of screaming toddlers. Our niece and nephew joined in. Quinn had a wee paddle, but is still a bit too small for this particular kind of fun.
But then the water fun ended abruptly when this man came out and set up his sign:
We watched as he put on his hip-high waders and walked the length of the paddle pool with his net, looking for poos.
Happy christmas!
