Time marches on....

So Amanda is here now and the kids are loving it! It's been good to spend time with her and enjoy being in New Zealand. We went to Arrowtown this week and visiting the old Chinese gold mining huts and the museum. Loved eating at the little french cafe and kids loved going to the sweet shop! Today Amanda and I and the kids rode a steamboat across lake Wakatipu and visited a family farm where we got to pet lambs, sheep and scottish highland cattle. Kids loved the lambs! We also got to watch a sheep being shorn (not the whole sheep due to weather...) and the wool spinning.
Drew is still going on about his snowcat ride that daddy took him on. We enjoyed going up to Snow Park and doing some sledding on these cool little french sleds.
It's been a busy week and we are hoping to do "Puzzle World" and we are planning to go to Milford Sound on Thursday.
Life is going to seem mundane when Amanda goes home and we have to start winding down on this crazy last two months. Heading home should be an adventure!
Well, back to Johnny Depp (Amanda and I are watching Chocolat!)
