Kayaking

NZ is known for it’s outdoor activities.  Most of those activities fall in the category of ‘extreme sports’.  We found it difficult to find companies that arranged outdoor fun for kids.  But the companies we did find that catered to kids, did an amazing job!  Kayaking was something we thought the whole family would enjoy!  And we did!  Ron was with Jade, Kim with Amanda & Tanner & Justin were together.  Team work was key, as in Tanner & Justin's case.  Arm strength was key for Ron & Kim….& let just say, Kim was exhausted & needed a tow from the guide a few times.  Princess Amanda lounged out while mom rowed away & Jade tried to help dad out but really just made him work more!

We took a break on a little island.  PC230066

The kids had the chance to swim in the water.  Jade & Amanda loved jumping in the water even with the water temperature being a bit COLD!!
