Just six months ago...

...We did some activities and have pictures to post. Editing and choosing which photos to post is a massive effort for Perin and myself. However, sometimes we can get the ball rolling and take care of several of them at the same time. Here are four fantastic photo opps we had:

1) We joined our friends Nicole and Andy in the Northland of New Zealand and had a great time:

2) Slightly more recently, we joined Antonia, James, and Max (Lorna hadn't been born yet) in Kaipapa Bay. The sea was brisk and the sunsets spectacular:

3) Several weeks ago, we participated in the Wellington Zoo's Cheetah Encounter. They're huge - sitting up, one is nearly chest-high on me. And cheetahs are at the smaller end of the large cat spectrum. Feeling the cheetah's purr was a like a little chainsaw. It was awesome:

4) And most recently, we joined the neighbors on a trip to Somes Island. It was first-time voyage for all of us, and Lauren's first time on a boat. Great weather and calm seas:
