Lest We Forget

We spent the next day at Nelson's Founders Park for the  'Lest We Forget' ANZAC commemorative reenactment. It was an amazing way to celebrate ANZAC and the Dramatix Theater put on an amazing show, it was like being on a movie set! There were gun fights, air raids, a concentration camp and a living recreation of a trench, it really was amazing and moving. Here are our photos of the day .......
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Two Birthdays one night

Next stop, The Tap in Mapua in the lovely Nelson region. We booked a family motel unit to share with our good friends JR & Kirsty who came to party with us, it just so happens that day was Sarah & JR's birthday and so our night begins!
Can you see our sweet beer mous?
 
 
  
Happy Birthday to me!

A nice spot for some breakkie me thinks!

 
 Sarah is pretty excited!
After breakfast we had a little stroll around the shops and found the perfect place to relax
