We started the day with a great continental breakfast at the hotel, then head out to the zoo. Today was the first dry and sunny day we've seen in a very long time and it being a Sunday, I think everyone in Auckland and the surrounding area decided to join us at the zoo. It was crowded, but not anywhere near as crowded as the Woodland Park Zoo gets. Right when we got there, we saw one of the stars of a Kiwi evening soap opera that we all watch each weeknight. Blake walked up to him and confirmed it.
After the zoo, we headed out to a nearby beach, where the kids collected shells.
Tomorrow, should we head under water?
I had a great time at the zoo and the beach with all of you...thanks for taking me along...what fun! Did you hear how much fun the monkeys or chimps were having watching you...they couldn't stop laughing!
ReplyDeleteGrandpa and I played dominoes and listened to the hockey games last night. We were ahead or tied the entire game...until with 38 seconds left, the Everett Silvertips scored the winning goal. Good, close game. Tonight we went to our home opener with the Portland Winterhawks. Tom and Eric were there...Gert is in Phoenix, then she goes to Batonrouge for three weeks, and then back to Phoenix, before coming back here. Glen Goodall was there with his family. He has the only retired jersey (#10) of any Thunderbird player. He played with them from 1994-1990...you may remember him, Amy. We won the game 4-1. They had beaten us the last 13 games we had played with them, so it was good to see us rise to the occasion.
Again, I really enjoyed seeing and hearing how much fun you're having!

Ooops, Glen Goodall play with the Seattle Thunderbirds from 1984 - 1990!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking shirt, Blake.
