    • Bushline Tramp

    We went on our first overnight tramp to Bushline hut. It was a little hard going in, but then Oscar had a great time playing around with some other kids up there. M&Ms were key for the hiking.

    • Train to Sedon

    There is an occasional steam train from Blenheim to Sedon. It was awesome. Oscar got treats and a new train hat.

    • Pelorus camping

    Weekend camping at Pelorus Bridge up in the valley. Our first spot was just a place to park the car in some dirt, so we were able to switch to a nice grass spot for our tent. Camp sites don’t have tables or fire rings like back in Oregon. There is a large communal building with showers, tables, and stoves. It was pretty nice.

    • Halloween in Summer

    Oscar and his buddies celebrated Halloween in the heat and went door to door to snag more candy. This town is so small we went to his principal and teachers home.
