Kapiti Summerfest

The organisers of this years Kapiti Summerfest were lucky to actually have 'summer weather' on the day, it's been raining here now for over a week and again today it's raining, making yesterday the only gorgeous day we have had in a while.

The Summerfest was just a magical array of food stalls, crafts, clothes, art and music. There was entertainment in the form of live bands, and numerous activities for the children. We had a brilliant time exploring the stalls and grabbing a few bargains that you are only likely to find at events like this.

Bethany of course wanted to head for the rides, she had a few good turns on the inflatables and then went on a faster ride with Daddy. However as excited and as much as she enjoyed it, we walked away mumbling under our breath at the cost of the rides. $4 was the standard for one go on the inflatables and a whopping $12 for the ride that Bethany and Daddy went on that lasted 2 minutes!!!

Despite the overcharge on the rides we had fun sitting back and enjoying lunch listening to the live music, and soaking up some of that gorgeous sun we have been craving for.

Another one of those easily enjoyable family days out chalked up on the Dawes list of things to do!
