Kapiti Island Today 23/1/13

6pm ...

Taken from good old Queen Elizabeth Park on the Kapiti Coast again! Another family run though the dunes tonight! Great stuff!

There won't be any 'Kapiti Island Today' for a couple of days! The Cherubs and I are off up to Auckland to visit chums for the weekend! We'll have to find a beautiful view to post about up there!

Man it's getting windy, hope it dies down for our flight out of here! It's going to be crazy enough flying solo with The cherubs. Glad it's a short flight! Hopefully the excitement will distract them both and we'll be there before we know it and we'll have lovely chums to be reunited with at the other end ... Then when we get back its one sleep until Mummy and Ian arrive! Woo hoo! They are making their way to OZ as we speak. Heathrow got their act together and they made it out of the country despite the SNOW!!!!!! First stop Oz for a wedding and to see my little brother then on to NZ to see us lot of hoodlums! Yaaaassssss!!!!!!!

Kapiti Island Today 22/1/13 (featuring Queen Elizabeth Park)

6pm ...

Taken from the awesome Queen Elizabeth Park.

Rather out of character but fitting to our new lifestyle (healthy and fit) we went as a family for a walk/jog/sprint round the inland and coastal track.

A pretty hard task at the best of times but made harder by the hills, heat and heavy load in the pram (rather hefty 13 month old and a 3 and a half year old). The fresh air was great for the kids and Lovely Hubby, The Hound and I all got a great workout!

Especially for the Fiona at Coombe Mill I took some pictures ...

It's a great place not just for the tracks but the beach, grassy areas to picnic in and spend the day playing, the tram and lots more. Last year there was a fledgling festival called Kapiti Fest held at one of the starting points. Hopefully it will be back again this year and will grow and grow.

A couple of links to more info about the park ...
