Jan. 1 – We arrived at Christchurch and fell into a beautiful brand new condo. It is lovely and a great home base for our week here.
Jan. 2 – After researching the many beaches, we decide to go to Woodend Beach for some boogie boarding. It was a great day spent at the beach.
Jan. 3- We have been trying to find a good snorkel place and are told Cass Bay is the place. With only a 30 minute drive we get to Cass Bay and spend the day. It is calm but murky……no good for snorkelling. We check out Corsair Bay as well and end up with the same conclusion. We finished the day at the Canterbury Museum and a crazy free playground called Margaret Mahy. It is designed by kids for kids. Our kids love it!
Jan. 4- We headed out to the Christchurch square. It had a farmer’s market feel. We were watching a really good band on our left and over my right shoulder there was people holding a sign saying “Jesus Loves you”, reading the Bible while other people were heckling them, I loved it! The boys found another race to attend, this one was the New Zealand Superstock Championship. This is a two day event with over 80 cars attending. The girls watched movies with Theatre popcorn.
Jan.5 – We headed to Sumner Beach and then the boys went back to the races. -Shawn
Today I will talk about the races with no rules. We went to the races (the super-stock champs). The first day was qualifying and the second was the big one. There was four rolls that day and one on the first day. I don’t remember the winner but that’s okay.- Sayer 
2 days ago I went to the races and there was 4 flips and 1 guys number was 81nz and it was in the finals on the 1st lap he was doing so good on that race I think 1 guys number that flipt was number 82. – Gabriel
Jan. 6 – We checked out the Riccarton Sunday Market and then went to the Christchurch Art Museum.
Jan. 7- The kids were worn out by our constant movement the last few days so just Renelle and myself tried to find the last few things we wanted to see in Christchurch. We found the “185 White Chairs”, this is a memorial of all the lives lost in the 2011 earthquake, it was a bit underwhelming. It seemed to be just thrown in a parking lot. We then went to the Brighton Pier and took in some people fishing. After this we found the street art gallery and this is when Renelle really decided to start taking pictures for the day. – Shawn
