We had a good weekend. The kids are in such a wonderful place these days. They enjoy hanging around each other lately, exploring, playing and talking. This weekend the weather was beautiful the kids spent a lot of time at the trampolines, walking around the camp, playing with new Hot Wheels and building a fort. It is truly a pleasure to watch them grow and daily we think about how this move to NZ has been positive for them.
After church Sunday Dano and I put together a few cots and bunkbeds for a large group coming to the camp. Then we puttered around, weeding a rose flowerbed beside the house. It was nice. I included pics of the long flowerbed in front of the house.
PowerBall is a lotto here in NZ. We never play the lottery but this Powerball was 30 million. We did not win the 30 mil, but we did come home with $103, that is better than a kick in the pants.
The kids spent Sunday evening playing and building a fort in the forest behind the house. Abby took us on a tour, acting like a tour guide. She is so Type A! In role, she bossed us around, told us how to get to the fort, ordered Sam around...it was hilarious.
Back to school tomorrow, the kids have a short week. They get a Teacher Only day on Friday and then Monday is Labour Weekend which is a holiday for all Kiwis. As I sit here, Dan and I are chuckling, there are dairy cows the live across the field and past the pond. They have been barking/moaning/yelling all day. The sound is so bizarre. I should try to record some footage of these strange sounding cows.
Until next time,
Samantha

I'm glad to see things are going so well. The pictures are great, you all look so content. And the scenery is amazing.
It's just nicely getting cool here. I finally broke down and turned on the furnace at our house this morning.
On a separate note I got married two weeks ago, it was a perfect fall wedding. It's amazing how quickly time passes, doesn't seem like that long ago that I was meeting your family for the first time working at camp, and now here I am married..
Cheers
