Rotorua and NZ fun!

Hello to all!  We are still here in NZ!  The kids are working hard on their home schooling and Keith on his Greek!  We seem to have a "home" routine now that we are not moving around every week!  I've enjoyed having my clothes in a dresser and knowing where to find what I need when I need.  Nana's house has been a wonderful place to stay- for all of us.   Our three have a couple of kids to play with next door and the ocean is across the road- although we don't get there as often as we should!!!  It has been cold here again and we're waiting for the big warm up!!

Keith and Luke have tried their hand at fishing!  So far 3 fish have been caught and eaten!  Very tasty when the fish is fresh.  The kids are learning to like it more.  Keith has big aspirations (fisherman disease) to catch the BIG ONE!  He heading out to deep waters with some neighbours on Saturday- hope they come back with more than stories!  I keep on telling him that he needs to pay off the fishing rod!

We did a quick trip to Rotorua last week.  It was fun to be tourists,  We went to the Agridome to see Sheep shearing, up the Gondola to go down the Luge and to the city park to see the "rotten egg factory."  (a.k.a. bubbly mud and steamy, smelly water)  Rotorua does have some smelly areas where there is geothermal activity all the time!  

We are finding that time is passing quickly and each week disappears.  We have some more plans to see more areas around here and do more fishing.....

The kids got a parcel from my mom and were so excited.  Luke was pleased to get some Lego.  We've offered to take it apart every night so he has something to do the next day!

Hope all at home are safe and well...
