The adults line up to take the kids for a chariot ride at the Salvation Army's Childrens' Day celebrations. Salvation Army corps leader Kenneth Walker starts the golf ball scramble. Ryan Fish and daughter Bailey (3) take the water slide together. Brothers Reon (3) and Jordan Fernandez (6) cheer for their Dad and older brother in the chariot race. The many heats of the chariot race brought out the sweat on the adult 'horses'. Nothing beats an old-fashioned game of catch. Rosalind Box, of Queenstown, with daughter Jorja (2) and son Jakob (5) take a break from the playground to watch the action. Siblings Taylah (3) and Havyn Cooney (2) frolic on the school playground. Over at the QEC event in the afternoon, Jasmin Santos (16 months) and Tiara Willett (21 months) enjoy playing with the toys. Arts and crafts was the order of the day at the tent for the Frankton Playcentre. Plunket Wakatipu president Tracey Kelly demonstrates how hard it is to see a small child behind a car. Children and toddlers give the bouncy castle a good workout. Children and toddlers give the bouncy castle a good workout.
 

There were two events in Queenstown for National Children's Day yesterday: one organised by the Salvation Army at the Queenstown Primary School in the morning and an afternoon of fun at the Queenstown Events Centre. Photos by Henrietta Kjaer; prints available at otagoimages.co.nz.
