First Days


By Eric
Guess what?!!! We're going to almost ten campsites! Our first one had a playground and it had this merry-go-round. I fell off it five times! Mary and I called it THE HANNAH because she LOVED! it.

We went hiking (up The Lion and to a waterfall) but actually in
New Zealand hiking is called “tramping”

I took this pictures. I need help finding the name of these birds. Can you help me?

  1. I saw those birds in NZ but I don't recall their name. I have a Maori friend from NZ. Will you be
    learning about these people & where they came from?

  2. I believe one is Bill and the other is Ted. I met them when they were on walkabout many years ago. Say hi to them for me! :)

    When you find out what they really are will you let us know?!?

    Miss you,
