Every week, we ask locals to describe how they would spend an ideal weekend in the region. This week we hear from Jess Shaw, chairwoman of the Whanganui Toy Library.
We usually have a busy week with the kids, so it’s a no-brainer that we try to chill on our weekends as best we can. I guess an advantage to working in the toy library is that we can go in every weekend and choose some new toys, although the kids end up getting distracted in there for hours anyway.
In the evening, as a family, we usually take our two huskies down to South Beach - it’s much less busy there than other beaches and it’s easy for the kids to run around.
On Saturdays, my two sons Alfie, seven, and Vincent, 13, go to Saturday T-ball, which gets them running.
The kids like playing outside on the trampoline, too.
