Off to New Zealand!

Next stop in our holidays was New Zealand. Before we left, though, we spent a week back at our apartment and packed it all up. With these 3 tricksters hanging around, it really did take us all week!

Back in New Zealand, we relished the company of family. Grandma & Pops' house was once again our 'home-base' and the girls enjoyed just playing, both with them and around their house.

We had a very special long weekend away in Taupo at a holiday home with our siblings and nephew. We rented a holiday house for several days, and just hung out together.

Taupo also offers fabulous outdoor play. The 'boys' had a go at shooting their holes in one at the barge on the lake. And the playground was a hit, too.

Taupo is also very close to the mountains in the North Island, so one morning was dedicated to visiting the snow.
