Auckland, New Zealand


We had a great trip to New Zealand! The best part was being able to see Grandma and Grandpa and introducing them to their newest grandchild, Harper. Grandma & Grandpa left on their mission just 1 month before Harper was born. She is now 10 months old and meeting her Brown Grandparents for the first time. She loves grandma and grandpa and had no problem getting to know them. She went to grandma right away at the airport and was very content being held by them or playing with them.


We loved New Zealand! We saw some incredible sites. We saw several locations that looked exactly like scenes from Lord of the Rings and from The Chronicles of Narnia. It is a beautiful country. Our time was short in New Zealand but we packed in a lot of great stuff.

The next several blog entries are about our trip. Several of the postings include a slide show. If you are truly interested in seeing the slides, here are some tips...click on the picture shown in the black box. It will open a new window for you to view the slides. You will enter the slide show mid way through the slide presentation. The slides do not loop, so you will have arrow back to the beginning to see all the slides.


The first set of slides is from downtown Auckland. Auckland is a great city -- very clean and right on the water. We took a ferry across the bay in Auckland. It is a very pretty city.
