Tatty Teddy's Easter Adventure

Happy Easter Room 2! Yesterday Tatty Teddy came down to Matakana with us. We visited the Farmer's Market and went for a walk down to the river, where some children were feeding the ducks. There are lots of different stalls at the farmers market. Some of the stalls sell fresh fruit and vegetables, others sell jams, nuts and even crepes! Paul's uncle grows his own garlic and sells it at the market every Saturday morning. He gave us some smoked garlic to take home. Tatty Teddy started to get hungry so we bought him a berry smoothie for lunch. The straw was a bit too big for him so he used Paul's wallet as a cushion to sit on. After the markets we went for a drive out to Leigh, where Goat Island is. Tatty Teddy learnt all about what a marine reserve is and why they are so important. Paul went snorkelling at Goat Island. He saw lots of snapper and even a stingray! We ran out of time to visit the Reptile Park, but will go back one weekend soon. On the way home we stopped at the Honey Centre to show Tatty Teddy how the bees make honey. Tatty Teddy liked watching all the bees behind the glass. He even made friends with a bumble bee. By the time we got back to Waipu it was almost dinner time so we stopped to pick up a pizza from the Pizza Barn. I think Tatty Teddy is going to spend the rest of his weekend eating all of his Easter treats. Enjoy the rest of your long weekend Room 2 and we will see you on Thursday.

Have a look at the maps below so you can see where Tatty Teddy travelled to yesterday. Warkworth is about an hour and fifteen minutes south of Whangarei. Then you turn off at Warkworth to get to Matakana. It takes just over ten minutes to drive from Warkworth to Matakana.
