What a busy two weeks we've had...Dad and Fran arrived into NZ and spent a few days traveling around the North Island (Bay of Islands, Auckland, Rotorua, Taupo...) before arriving into Palmerston North. I think Fran was relieved to turn in the rental car and let us do the driving, and of course they were both really looking forward to meeting Luca. Dad and Fran really enjoyed NZ and were cramming each day full of activities - so they got a bit of a break when they arrived to Palmy.
We showed Dad and Fran around Palmy, went for walks, BBQ'd, attended Bruce's 60th bday at the beach, played golf, and attended a City Council Summer Concert. It was good that they could come visit - see where I work, where we live, meet Luca! They also came with a huge box of goodies for Luca that was from them and Sherry and Dennis. It was better than Christmas! So many cute new things for our little man (and a tent for Mom and Dad too....we can't wait to take Luca camping!!!)
We couldn't find exactly matching shirts, but thought this was close enough. Now if only I could find some overalls for James...
After visiting Palmerston North for a few days we took the morning train down to Wellington to catch the ferry to the South Island. It was a week of many firsts for Luca...on the train, on boats, hiking with Mom and Dad. Every time he did something new it was like, 'This is the first time Luca has (fill in the blank)' It never ceases to get old to show this man all the new things in life.
And on the Ferry to the South Island to meet up with James' family at Lochmara Lodge.
