i cannot lie,
new zealand is one of my favourite places in the world.
the untouched beauty of this county makes it that more special.
the rugged hills, the greenest grass you have ever seen that seem to just spill over the hill tops, the volcanic transformations that appear in the middle of the sea.
the list could go on and on.
we have travelled to new zealand many times this is our 3rd trip since jevan and i got hitched.
we are staying at Skye & Sarah's house at Mairangi Bay this trip.
can i just say the North Shore is AMAZING, must add it to you to see list when you visit auckland.
after travelling to america and within america, travelling with the boys internationally now is simple especially that kai-kai is a crazy as plane lover and asks me all the time "mum can i go to the airliport so go on a airliplane." (and just between me and you the iPad make it that much easier.)
we flew in thursday afternoon, the boys met their cousins with great big hugs as soon as they walked out of the last door.
we have been to browns bay where the boys and there cousins turned a skateboard park into a slide arena (literally), we discovered THE best pie bakery ever known to man (order the Chicken Camembert - divine) with THE best bakery treats your mind could ever imagine, i highly recommend the Caramel Rough for those caramel lovers, like myself, out there. We have been educated on everything you could imagine at the Auckland Museum overlooking the city and Parnell.
we got to see isaac play rugby and lini play - "dance" at netball.
one of my absolute favourite places in new zealand is Temple View.
as we were driving to the temple you can see it up on the hill, i always get this overwhelming feeling of peace as i think i am home again.
we have attended just this afternoon the sealing of the Afoa family, it was beautiful and of course i blubbered, i tell you kids do it to me.
how rich this country is in history, culture and natural beauties.
i love it, jevan loves it and the boys love it.
it's a winner all round.
Love the photo where they're walking with their arms around each other ♥
