The view on Mt. Victoria
My comedians laying on the rock pretending to be dead.
More great view
Again more great view:
*sigh* doesn't it take your breath away. It is so beautiful here!
Enoch, Ezra and Ethne pretending to be seals on a rock. Ethne signing seal.
More signing seal:
Ethne was so wild when we were up there she was singing and signing and dancing around. I think she thought not only am I on top of the world, but I also own it :)
More boy seals: notice the look on seal #2's face. Cracks me up.
Asleep on the rock in each others arms-how sweet:
At some point when they were laying on the rocks Ezra went spread eagle and said "mom take a picture of my dead bones."
Camilla and Enoch:
Ethne wanted her sweater off so we turned her into a 50 year old Ralph Lauren model ;)
Island Bay Photos. This little bird from up on the road driving by looked like a penguin. We stopped to get a better look and it turned out it was just this bird :( Camilla really wanted to see one before she left.
We have penguin crossing signs all around where we live and all around Island Bay here too but we have yet to see any.
Island Bay is really a gorgeous place. Garrett said if we hadn't moved to Seatoun he would have loved to live here. Oh and by the way, speaking of penguins, they have had the first Emperor penguin in recorded history to reach New Zealand shores from Antarctica in June. It landed 60Km north of Wellington according to one report. A lady saw it while walking her dog. People were advised to leave it alone and they expected that it would just swim back where it came from. It didn't have any injuries or anything and looks quite healthy in the videos. But last night I heard on the radio that it was currently in the Wellington Zoo because it had eaten a bunch of sand and sticks and needed some procedures to remove them. Next year it will be taken back to it's home on a boat expedition :)
