Whakapapa Mountain Trip and Tokaanu hot pools Sept 2013

 

Off we all went at 7am up to Wakapapa for the mountain snow trip.

The kids and whanau and staff were all excited and we had a great time.

I had 11 children go and 8 had not been to the snow before. They went down the mountain on
sleds and a boogie board and threw snowballs.
We then went to the Tokaanu hot pools where they swam for over an hour.
What an awesome day.( Mrs Bennett)
