Updates from 2010- New Zealand

Near the end of 2010 we went on two amazing trips! First one to New Zealand with my family and to Washington DC with Tanner's family.

New Zealand was sooo pretty. My family flew over there and met up with Ben's family. Ben's mom's family is all back there so we got to visit them. We landed in Christchurch, rented caravans and hit the road. We would stop in trailer parks or on the side of the road where there was enough space for all 23 trailers I think? It was a blast! We were there for 9 days and almost each day we would pack up and move to a different place around the island. Most of the time the roads were windy and we would get car sick. One time we had our nephews, Gino, Kade, Hudson, and Dylan with us. We rented a caravan with Doyle and Jennifer.. which means for sure a good time! haha Anyways we were going down this crazy road, Gino was sitting on my lap in the front seat, (left side of the car) and Tanner was driving.. Kade had to go to the bathroom and it was way to bumpy to walk into the bathroom soo of course Aunt Tess let's him open the side window and go! While Gino is sitting on my lap vomiting out the window. Hudson is asleep in our bed and Doyle is trying to help Jennifer not throw up in the back. These are the moments I live for! I seriously love them!

 We went fishing one day on Ben's uncle's boat..

 This is at the French pass where we stayed a couple days at Ben's aunt and uncle's property..

 

Most of the time we were relaxing, playing catch phrase, hanging out with the kids, eating good food and playing leg wrestling :).. I would definitely go back, the flight was 12 hours red eye and went by fast.
