Indepence, Part 2, but in random order.

After waking up early to watch the sun rise while listening to the tuis, my new sister wife, J and I took the kids to the beach.



The rain stopped and eventually the sun came out as we watched our children play in the sea caves and run on the beach. I'm certain ours were the worlds happiest children for at least twelve solid minutes, and it doesn't get much better than that.

This picture pretty much sums of New Zealand for me:

Surprisingly green grass, fluffy white sheep, and beaches.

See what I mean about the green? I didn't alter this photo - the grass truly is greener over here. Those birds are oyster catchers, and I think they are darling.
