    • 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.

    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.
