Taking a ride on Google the cow is Frankton tot Tahi Baird (2), with father Greg Baird. The activity was connected with Remarkable Vets' petting zoo at the Children's Day Family Picnic on Sunday. Photo by James Beech.
Youngsters and parents played a variety of games, including three-legged, egg-and-spoon and sack races, lolly scrambles and prize giveaways inside because of the poor weather. Skyline character Captain Gravity mingled, face-painting was popular and a petting zoo courtesy of Remarkable Vets was open outside the main auditorium.
Stands offered parenting information, baby sign language and youth yoga. Every child was given a hydroslide pass for the day.
The inaugural event celebrating national Children's Day was organised by the Queenstown Lakes Family Centre and the Summit Youth Council, with assistance from the Queenstown Lakes District Council
