flying kiwis!


The kids had no idea that going for a walk along Paihia Beach would end up in a trip in the sky! What a great surprise for them...
 
Blake kept asking ..."are we going up with that small spinnaker Mum?"
 
Thanks so much to Rick and the team at Paihia Flying Kiwi Parasail for our own expedition above water! (and for skillfully getting our toes wet)...
