I'd be quite keen to do a meet up at somewhere like Butterfly Creek, where there are things for kids and adults to do. I'll pass on this one thanks.

sorry this is a different one to a BC one...this is a freebie day no cost kids can run them selves ragged one....few of us have been talking about it for a while on / off now....I found BC service sucky and expensive for what it was to be honest...we much prefer the south auck petting zoos....but know BC is closer for you guys to go to
Sterryn - you know we tried a north one and noone organises it...go for it and we will def try to be there...will see u next weekend for sure tho!

 You what Sterryn? North?
I'm in - and DH will be too because he's going to have weekends off for 2 months! Whole weekends! Every weekend! Holy crap! (I'll probably be ready to throw him in the duck pond by the second weekend )
And don't look at me for keeping kids out of duck ponds - the last time I was left in charge of my niece near a water body she ended up completely soaked in about 30 seconds flat. The little buggers move FAST!
