Storylines Family Days
We had the BEST time at the Storylines Family Days in the weekend!! Saturday was spent at the Mangare Arts Centre in South Auckland and Sunday at the Aotea Centre in Central Auckland. Here´s a bunch of photos of us making cats and keys with the kids. But we did HEAPS more stuff too!! Was so much fun hanging with the kids and families - if anyone ever has the chance to go to a Storylines Family Day make sure you do - we totally recommend it (:
