Just before Poppy turns two years old, Adrienne buys tickets to Christchurch as a special treat. Aeroplanes are one of Poppy’s favourite things and she is very excited to be getting on one. In fact, after our flight down we disembark and walk past other aircraft on our way to the terminal… as we pass each plane, Poppy says “That one now!”

Unfortunately, Adrienne’s digital camera was stolen from the car outside the motel room on the first night and therefore we have no photos of the first part of the trip to share. After buying a new camera, we are back in business! This is the first photo taken with the new camera – by Vince the salesman! For those who are interested: Fujifilm FinePix 8.3 with Face Definition.

Poppy enjoyed going up and down in elevators and stairs in the various Malls we visited.
