We are so blessed to have access to clean and fresh water here in Motueka. Not only for our drinking water but for our summer fun as well!

There's something so cleansing and refreshing about a dip in the river - and it's best of all, it's not even too cold.

What a fabulous way for our family to get out into nature, to connect with each other, and to have a good laugh. It's cleansing for the soul, really.

And our dog, Sadie, gets great joy from it too.

Hooray for many more river days stretching out ahead of us this summer!
