Queen's Birthday activities

Since today was a public holiday and our weekends recently have been filled with doing jobs around the house...we decided that we needed to plan to do an activity together as a whole family for a change. So we decided to go to the ArtsPost Gallery in the city, to look at the Fieldays No.8 Wire National Art Award entries. The kids enjoyed looking at them, asking us to read the little information boards that told us what each of them were suppose to be (some were more abstract than others). Then a the end we each chose our favourite sculpture and placed a vote for it in the 'People's choice award'.

We had a bit of time left after that, so we popped across to the museum for a look around. We ended up at the 'Never a Dull Moment' exhibit (about the history of Hamilton), which we had all been to before, but Ben wanted to look around again. Peter and I also got to read a bit more of the stuff that we hadn't had time to read on previous visits.
