Leaving Christchurch.....

Today is the day we pack up (yet again) and set off to see more of NZ. Christchurch has been a great stop along the way and we have enjoyed it! Last night the kids were sad about leaving, but excited to see what's down the road- I think they're getting used to this "routine."

Ellie and Megan attended a cool computer summer school in CHCH at e-Time. They used Mac computers to create their own movie and songs. Both learned so much and were challenged by the material. They were able to show me a few things on our Mac and I'm sure that more movies will be made in the future.

As the girls were busy all day for 3 days Keith and I had one boy to deal with all day! We took him to Science Alive where he rock climbed, played sports and explored the science of sports. Another day we drove along the ridge of the CHCH hills and did a few hikes. Luke now has an aversion to hikes so we kept them short and promised ice cream at the end.

We had a great day with Brad's brother- Zane and his family! The kids got to jump off docks into the ocean and I was told to get wet or I will be made wet! Apparently the "choice" was mine! The water colour was incredible. So hard to describe and no picture does it justice.

We enjoyed meeting some great new friends- the only hard part is saying goodbye!!! The kids are sometimes having a hard time with good-byes! It makes them miss cousins more too! I am always amazed at how God puts new people in our lives as a gift- we are blessed!

Off to see more of the south island and more adventures ahead! Thanks for reading and sending the fun comments! Will be in Canada all too soon.....
