We had ice cream, some of the best in the world, called Rush Munro's. I don't particularly like ice cream but when it comes to Rush Munro's I will order three scoops. It was heavenly and I, as well as the girls and the rest of the gang, loved every mouth full.

The we went to lunch in one of the fantastic cafes. New Zealand has all these wonderful cafes throughout the country with homemade soups, egg or meat pies, lasagana and cakes and cookies.


















Then we went and had more ice cream but that was the next day. :)

The Aquarium

We went to the Aquarium where the three girls fit inside this shark's mouth. (What is left of it that is.)
This aquarium has a large display of snakes, lizards, an alligator as well as fish. It was lots of fun.

At the park.

We went to church on Sunday.















The parks in New Zealand are wonderful. There aren't as many lawsuits and so parks are the way it was when I was little.

Swings, teetter-totters, slides and all sorts of park toys kept the kids entertained for hours.


Ella couldn't get enough of swinging. She loved it!


Shea loved this fun slidek. I don't know what it was called but you stood on it and glided from left to right. Being so small, Shea sat on it and we pushed her back and forth.

More at the beach!

Shea loved the beach looking for seashells as did Chase in the background.

Ella and Grandpa loved it too.
























Here are all the girls. Great memories!

More at the beach!
