Kids (Zara,Anna,Caleb,Claire, and Phillip) at the top of the half pipe.
First you hang! (Zara, Anna, and Claire)
Then some slide!
There is only one way down so Anna did it too.
Phillip and Caleb (friend from church) at the top of the half pipe.
Andrew at our house with the home made bow and arrow. Grapes are forming on the vine adjacent to him.
Andrew in my veggie garden. I have branched out from the usual Kensington tomatoes to onions, lettuce, peas, green beans, strawberrys, spinach, squash, cucumber, and zucchini.
Claire on the porch of what would be your guest room porch. Note the grape vines on an arbor below her.
Phillip hanging out on the porch.
It was good to go to church today and then to a park with another family. We have been a bit homesick and it did us good today. Despite the homesickness (even a few comments from the kids who have now been in school for the 15th month in a row), we have a definite resolve to finish what was set before us and have a great time doing it. We would love some visitors though!! We are starting to doubt if we will see anyone. The weather gets better everyday. Please note the picture of your balcony off the guest room. If you time it just right you could probably eat grapes from the bed. The strawberries will be in for Christmas and there is nothing like a beach barbeque. I might even have some decent homegrown southern style vegetables to throw in. How about a Poll. Vote by leaving a comment if you would come to New Zealand if health reasons, time off from work, and finances weren't obstacles. We love and miss everyone back home. Keep up the support and prayers. Dawn and Lynn

If finances were better I'd be there, it looks so beautiful and peaceful and eating grapes before I fall asleep sounds fabulous! I'll keep playing the lottery and if I win I'll bring the entire office with me! hehe.... Glad to see those big smiles on the kids faces they are having a time of their lives, try not to be too homesick what your doing is making a huge difference in the eyes of the people you come in touch with each day. Before you know it you'll be back in TN and missing New Zealand, enjoy what you have each day and don't think about tomorrow! Miss you guys!! Love ya....Debra
My mom said she and my dad would come if they could. Dawn
Of coarse I'd love to come. Finances and vacation days are always an issue these days. tom woody
Hey, if you are having a drawing for a free trip to the Nichols Resort in New Zealand then put my name in the pot! :o) Dawn, you are so missed in BSF...it's just not the same with out you. I hope you are doing well and enjoying your time there. Your family is so beautiful and I so love everyone's adventurous spirit! Can't wait to reconnect when you all return to the "mother land". :o)

Well we have decided that if the election goes bad (and you know what bad means... wink wink) then we have decided we are moving across the ocean! ;)
Your trip will be over before you know it... you picked a good time to be away... between the way the Vols and Auburn are playing this is no place to be right now!
Take care!
