As winter came to a close and spring arrived. The four of us decided it was time to begin our migration south for summer. After Napier we made our way to Wellington which is the capital of New Zealand. Wellington was sweet it reminded us of San Francisco. There were lots of historical landmarks and cool monuments. We decided to check out this huge Museum that tells a lot about New Zealand’s heritage and had sweet displays of the native animals and of the Maori people. After that we needed to give our brains a rest so we went to see a movie, which was our first in a couple of months. It was great. We then drove Jordan (our car) onto the Ferry which Meagan had informed us would take 30 minutes to get to the South Island. 4 ½ hrs later we arrived on the South Island. We decided to push through and try and make it to our destination which was Kikoura. While driving through the sudden storm we swerved to miss ….a Seal!!! Yes, sitting in the middle of the road was a huge Seal. We all couldn’t believe it. We finally made it to our destination safely and met a really cool Irish couple at our hostel. The next morning we headed to Christchurch and spent the night there. We thought we might plant ourselves there, but Christchurch did not meet our expectations. So we headed for Dunedin which is further south and on the east coast. I’ll write more about Dunedin and our Job situation on our next blog.
Just like the Seal we saw in the middle of the road

Hey guys! Wow ya'll look like your having so much fun! Those pictures are great. It's so beautiful there. I'm so glad to see ya'll are doing well. I apologize that I havn't attempted to call or write in the last month or so, life has just been so busy, but that isn't really a good excuse. Diana and baby #2 are doing great. She's now just over 14weeks pregnant. The baby is very healthy and is to be expected around April 15th. Your little niece Jennifer is getting so big! She is so close to walking it's not even funny! Diana & I were starting to wonder when she would show interest in walking and finally about two weeks ago she did. Now she is trying to walk everywhere. Her vocabulary has expanded by at least 20 words it seems. Her favorites still being "what's that?". Diana & I miss you guys more than words could possibly express. We can't wait to see you! However,we are very thankful that ya'll are able to have this journey in your life. The good Lord has kept his hand on us and continues to provide.
Bobby>>>I miss you bro. I'm so proud of you. Love ya bro.
Both of you>>>Be blessed and please be careful.
