This weekend we headed over to Thorndon Park for our weekly change of scenery and to get out in the fresh air as a family. As with Lake Meadows last week, it was fairly busy but everyone was staying alert and social distancing.
We had a lovely long walk around the lake and exploring the woodland area and the kids all found a tonne of falled tree trunks etc to climb all over. The only downside this week was that the cafe was closed and therefore no ice-cream.

 |
| Brandon was almost stuck here for a minute with a stump dangerously close to his undercarriage! |
 |
| An unusual hollowed half pipe type of tree trunk. |
 |
| The insides have turned to saw dust. |
 |
| Josh chilling on a tree (and yes we made him wear a cap as he still hasn't had a hair cut!). |
 |
| Family walk time exploring South Thorndon. |
 |
| Holly found this bridge with swamp land either side to get to the other side of the lake. |
 |
| Ready built den for the kids to play in. |
 |
| Didn't see any fish but plenty of bird life out on the lake. |
 |
| The Thorndon lake fish statue. |
 |
| Trouble is looming. |
 |
| We left Tina behind and went off to explore some deeper parts of the woodland. |
 |
| Luckily no trip to A&E but not through lack of trying by Joshua!!!!! |
 |
| Holly exploring new trails. |
 |
| Look closely at the bottom of this hollowed out tree - its a Holly Tree! |
 |
| As always we took a football for entertainment and it very nearly went in the lake on several occasions. |
 |
| Tina giving Holly a helping hand. |
 |
| You are never too old to climb around on a tree trunk. |
 |
| My life, my world, the reason I live - right here in this picture. |
