Preparations for New Zealand Trip

Three weeks out from departing from Halifax for New Zealand, Michelle and I realised that Charlotte might need something to entertain herself during the 48 hours of sitting in planes and waiting in airport departure lounges.

Michelle was the one scheduled to travel with Charlotte alone as I was in Australia “on a job”, so she quickly got to work putting together some activities to entertain the two year old…
I looked in the bag of trick right before I left for Perth and this is what I found;
·         Sesame Street Colouring Books,
·         Crayola Crayons,
·         Play-doh,
·         Cookie Cutters,
·         Cookies, crackers and fruit, and of course,
·         A quantity of Apps downloaded onto Michelle’s new iPad.

Perhaps the funniest of all the preparations made was the realisation that there was in-flight entertainment but Charlotte hates having anything on her head.

The following sequence of photos shows Tig practising wearing headphones in Halifax in the event that she might find the Wiggles or Clifford the Big Red Dog on Air New Zealand’s program line up.
