Moereki and Naseby for Hockey

This weekend started with gale winds Friday night. They began to whip around 4pm and continued right through the night until Saturday morning. Sam's rugby game was canceled as a result. I did not sleep much Friday as the sound of the wind was unbelievable (and I may have thought the roof was going to fly off). Melissa arrived back from Australia so we left earlier to go to Dunedin to pick her up. We traveled to Moereki just north of Dunedin to see the boulders. I have included pictures.
After we played in the ocean we headed inland to Naseby where Sam was playing in a hockey tournament on Sunday. Naseby is a little village snuggled at the base of Mt. Ida. Mt. Ida is amazing. We took many photos. Saturday night we had supper (tea, as NZers call it) at a Pub in Naseby then we hit the hay in our cabins. It was snowing as we went to bed. Naseby sits at 2000ft above sea level. Sam played two games of hockey Sunday and his team won both games. He got two penalties and a total of 4 goals between the games. The boys are really starting to pass well. The rink at which he played was an outdoor rink. It was really interesting, we had never been to an outdoor rink before.
