Kidsfest

The New Zealand school system is set up so that students Kindy through High School go to school for 10 weeks, then two weeks off, 10 weeks, then two weeks off, etc, until a six week summer break (that falls end of December to beginning of February).  It is winter in the southern hemisphere and we will be in New Zealand during a two week winter break for the schools in the Canterbury Plains region.  One of the remarkably cool things that they do there for kids is Kidsfest - an annual two-week festival designed especially for children age 0-17. It has entertained thousands of children and families over the past 28 years. It features hundreds of events!  Ah, to be a kid again!
