Waitomo Caves
On Sunday, we took a trip (one hour away) to the Waitomo Cave District. We went to the Ruakuri Bushwalk and hiked through a caves, tunnels, saw a waterfall and beautiful limestone formations. For pictures, click here.
Hamilton
We've spent most of the past month in Hamilton, going to school, participating in sports and just exploring the city.
Lexie's Soccer Team:
Lexie is playing soccer for Hillcrest United Soccer Club. Her team is the U11 Fireballs. It is basically an all boys league besides Lexie and one other girl. So far, they are undefeated four games into the season and Lexie recently received the player of the game trophy. For pictures, click here:
Rachel's Netball Team:
Rachel is playing netball on her middle school team. It is a very popular sport with girls in New Zealand. It is a lot like basketball, without the dribbling. We don't quite get it, but Rachel seems to enjoy playing. For pictures, click here:
Hamilton River Walk:
I took my parents to a river walk along the Wakaito River in Hamilton. It is fall in New Zealand (May) so we got to see the leaves turning. It is interesting to see the maple, oak and ginko trees turning shades of red, yellow and orange right along side flowering trees and palm trees. For pictures, click here:
University Rugby:
This is mostly for my nephew Henry, who plays rugby in Lancaster. We like to go to the University Campus to see the varsity rugby teams play on Saturdays. I still don't understand all of the rules, but it is exciting to watch. For pictures, click here:
Miscellaneous:
Rachel went to a dance at her middle school this past Thursday. It was very different from the dances she attended in Palmyra. They learned how to waltz and disco dance in gym class and Rachel was asked to waltz at the middle school dance.
Evan got a police/detective costume from his grandfather and has been posing as a detective for days.
