michael and scott
My good friend from BYU Michael and his partner Scott spent a morning with us! Scott is an ice skater on a cruise ship and the ship stopped in Auckland for a day.
Auckland museum
Another of our favorite places to visit in Auckland. Wonderful for rainy days. The Auckland Museum.

| Our friend Erika came with us! |
endless summer
This view from our front porch is one of my favorites. Trent in his bucket. Maya sitting close by. Enjoying the fresh air before bedtime.
 |
| Trent liked to use his bath water to water the plants. |
eating sugar
Trent has a serious sweet tooth and was thrilled when he found a bag a brown sugar that he was able to get into before I caught him in the act.
 |
| He does a great sad face. This is what happened when I took the sugar away. |
 |
| Such a sweet, sad, sugar face. |
 |
| Mr T was a bit happier when I gave him a bath in a bucket on the front porch. |
 |
| Before I was able to clean it all up he went back to check for more. |
mauhurangi regional park
Some of the most beautiful parts of Auckland are in the regional parks. Over Christmas we decided to tour as many as we could. We managed to get to 21 of the 26.
