Science Museum in Christchuch

After the kids found their friends again and had a play in the playground at the holiday park we set off into Christchurch. First stop was the sewing centre to check out sewing machines for little old mwah! (one somehow managed to slip into the back of the truck to come home too! hehe) We went to the Science Museum in town. It was awesome. Although more aimed at the over 5's. There was a play area for the younger ones too. The kids got to play with all sorts of interactive things involving weather, magnets, friction, etc etc.

Daniel on the climbing wall. Apparently there is some monkey genetics in our children who seem to fly up the wall. Daniel was funny as he went up twice and then on the third go he got an attack of vertigo and it took the climbing wall lady - Penny, about 15minutes to convince him back down again. Then he went up another half a dozen times with no worries!
After Christchurch (and a quick (?) stop to check out a truck for Peter) we went to Timaru where we spent the night. After a stop in at Temuka where I managed to get a new lid for my casserole dish (at the pottery shop). Apparently they dont have any left of my set anymore. So once the kids are old enough not to drop it all the time I will have to decide on a new one (such a shame!) After this stop we went to Dunedin where we stopped at the Otago Museum to see the much anticipated butterflies.
