Its been way to long without an update! The kids went back to school yesterday so there are finally some quiet moments to catch up on a few things! I have had "update blog" written down on my to-do list so its about time to cross that off. Here are just a few pictures of our awesome trip! I need to download a ton more from my phone but here is a few pics of our awesome vacation (or holiday as the Aussies say).  |
We have been dreaming of going to New Zealand for FOREVER. My awesome friend, Heidi lives there and is married to a Kiwi (Doug) so it was so fun to stay with them and explore just a bit of the north Island. We MUST go back! Did you know that there are only about 4 million people in New Zealand but about 30 million sheep! Here is Isabella at a petting zoo hanging out with one of the many sheep! :) |
 |
| Here is Ava. She loved every minute of our vacation! |
 |
| Heidi has 3 kids as well and our kids had SO MUCH fun with them. Here is a sweet picture of her daughter Amber and Isaac. |
 |
| Here is the crew of kids! The littlest one, Cole who is almost 2 would not look at the camera! Oh, those almost 2 year olds! :) |
 |
| We had so much fun relaxing and hanging out with friends. |
 |
| Here is the whole crew (minus the picture taker-me). Heidi and her family are living with Nana (Doug's Mum) while they build a house so we all got to stay together. Doris is a wonderful lady who such a gracious hostess! |
 |
| Now these 2 had a blast together. Caleb is only a few days older then Isaac and they had so much fun playing together!! |
 |
| New Zealand is beautiful. These waterfalls are right by Nana's house. It is so green there and lush! Now let's see if I can get a few more pics up in the next couple of days! We had some really fun day trips including seeing the movie set for the "Lord of the Rings" & "Hobbit" films. |
