Auckland Museum and Devonport - Day 4

Today we went to the Auckland Museum to see a Maori performance and cultural experience.  We had wanted to travel outside of Auckland to learn more about the Maori people but all of the tours said "not recommended for infants" and when we asked at the tourist bureau they could not tell us of a place we could drive to and just buy tickets when we got there.  So we thought the Museum was our safest bet.
Nathanh running on the hill outside of the Museum...we both thought this reminded us of the opening of Little House on the Prairie, especially when he fell in the grass!

One of the performers.  Nathanh loved the performance.  It really could not have been any better singing, dancing and big sticks!  He was mesmerized!

 In the afternoon we took the ferry across the harbour to Devonport.
