Bungy Jumping

Hopefully this video works.

Update on New Zealand

Just a few pictures to update our trip.
We have seen so many places.  SeaLions and Penguins on the beach have been my highlights.  We have gone buggy jumping, seen lighthouses and collected sea shells.

Such a beautiful country

I will post more pictures tonight when our internet is better but here is a glimpse at how beautiful it is. This is at a place called Milford sound. 

Bungy jumping

We did it!  We Bungy jumped from the first ever Bungy jump. It was awesome!  We did it together. I will post the video soon. It is pretty cool. 

2nd day in New Zealand

We have had a great time in New Zealand so far.  The best part is getting to see New Zealand as a tourist and as a Local as well.  We see the sights and tour the city and then we go home for a home cooked meal.  Or we get to go eat with a family in their home.  It is not very common to get to do this on a vacation but when you visit missionaries, that is what you get to do.
The second day here in New Zealand we woke up and went for a run on the beach. It was AMAZING! Weather was great and the ocean was so beautiful.  We ran downy he beach about a mile to some rocks and cliffs.  We watched the water slam into the rocks and cliffs.  We even got to get up on the rocks.  It was so much fun.
After we got back from our run we got ready, had french toast and even got to talk to the kids on Skype.  I am so glad they are doing well and having fun.  Molly calls Jill ma-ma now so it sounds like she is doing just fine:)
We went to tunnel beach around noon.  Tunnel beach is a historical place.  A man maybe a king (I should remember who it was) built a tunnel for his daughters to go to the beach.  It is pretty neat.

We went to go see a rugby game but it twas not there for some reason.  So we went to see the professional rugby stadium and watched a rugby game online instead that night.  You can't come to New Zealand without seeing a rugby game.
We went to the port, the train station and walked down the shopping streets for a few minutes.  It was a beautiful day outside so we tried to stay outside a little longer.
We went back home and had a wonderful dinner from Mom, as always.  We had chicken roll-ups but with apricots in them.  We put apricot jam on the top as well.
For dessert we had the famous pavlova.  with fruit, cream and chocolate on top.
Another great day!
