Studio Blue Fish

.
In an effort to preserve our memories of this year in New Zealand we hired professionals, Studio Blue Fish, to take some photos. We chose Otari Wilton Bush for the setting. This botanic garden is one of our favorite spots around Wellington. It is one of the few local places that was never cut for cultivation, grazing, or development. So it still has the native forest. Unfortunately, the photos don't give you a good sense of the place. On the plus side, the green background goes super well with my John Denver hair cut. Zeke's highly gelled do, Rachel’s “all natural” and the girls' barrette look are also featured in the slide show.

Days Bay

.
Our ferry trip to Days Bay gave me yet another opportunity to take heaps of pictures of the kids. Per usual, Zeke and Joel are over represented. See the slide show.

Brooklyn Wind Turbine

.It took us a year but we made it up to the Brooklyn Wind Turbine (about 20 minutes from our house). We had a great day with the Turrows, our new friends from Bethesda, Maryland. You can see a slide show of our pictures.
