Piha Beach

Today we went to Piha Beach. It was SO sunny! We spent most of the day at the beach. It was really fun. We saw a sea lion!!!! He was just laying on the beach taking a nap. It first looked like it was dead until it started to open it's eyes and sit up to look around then went back to sleeping. It was soooooo cool! I've never seen one! It was a great day! Oh and it was a black sand beach. We swam in a Tasman Sea!

We're in New Zealand!

We got to New Zealand all right. The flight was 14 hours!! We watched a lot of movies on the plane. Air New Zealand was really cool. I got the window seat. Once everyone was sleeping I opened my window and looked out and I could see all the stars! It was really pretty. When we arrived it was raining. The weather has been really rainy but then it will clear up. People here say " heaps" a lot. Also "sweet as" which is like awesome or yeah. Like if someone said " we should do this again" I could say sweet as. They also say "bro" and " mate" a lot to. It's really pretty here. And supper green to. I really like our Ward here. For mutual they don't call it mutual they call it Youth. So far
I really like New Zealand. That's the view from our kitchen
