 7 February 2014 – Are you ready for our last early morning jog in New Zealand?  That sounds so final.  While I didn't exactly enjoy getting up extra early…while the others were still sound asleep and shoving myself out the Beast's door to jog…I have to say it was a great way to start every…

6 February 2014- Yesterday I bought new running shoes at a specialty shoe store in Queenstown.  And…Mark bought me a very cool running watch that has all these fancy bells and whistles.  It's supposed to keep track of my heart rate and keep track of my mileage and keep track of my route and do…

5 February 2014-  Today we have to get up EXTRA early to go on our morning jog as we're going horseback riding this morning.   Let's take a different jogging route this morning, okay? I just love jogging on a clean dirt trail…close to a clean lake and fresh air.   A view of Queenstown:…

4 February 2014 – What a gorgeous morning for a jog!  The town is still fairly quiet so early…although, there were travelers milling about and waiting for various busses to come pick them up.  I jogged on a trail next to the lake.   I turned around at this sign (we're going to head to…

3 February 2014- Up a creek without a paddle???   Crikey! LOL….I saw this sign on my morning jog: The sand flies are getting the better of us.  Time to MOVE and HEAD OUT.  We're making our way to Queenstown.     Had to stop and check out this waterfall.   Quick!  Grab a photo…

1 February 2014- Happy First of February!!!!  Ready for your morning jog????? (me neither but I'm going to do it anyway!)   Whoops.  Looks like the trail/road has washed away.. Fancy a jog on the beach?  Hmmm…jogging on sand is harder than it looks!!!! View of our campervans in the Westport campsite: So…after doing a…

27 March 2014- Let me just say this first….I am SO PROUD of ALL the grade 5 students!  You all did a tremendous job in executing your final grade 5 exhibition performance and presentations!  All I can say is….I certainly didn't do any of this when I was in fifth grade!!!! Okay… Here's a tiny…

27 March 2014- As you can probably tell things have been pretty quiet around here. Ummmm….. NOT! It's not been quiet around here.  Hence the lack of posts. (getting straight to the point) Whoops. So…. I am going to jump ahead …oh….about TWO MONTHS…so that I can share with you Annika's solo. At the moment…

31 January 2014- So…Abel Tasman has been breathtaking….magnificient…amazing.  Alas, even though we'd love to stay we feel that we need to keep moving.  Our goal is to try and make it all around the South Island in these short two weeks we have and the only way we're going to accomplish that is if we…
