Our first morning. Amory chills on the picnic table in front of our ‘campa’.
Amory and mom at the Waitangi Treaty Grounds – the birthplace of New Zealand!
Cruising in the Bay of Islands – on the boat, Oliver eats lunch while walking Amory to sleep!, and ‘oyster catchers’ in action.
Amory’s first swim in the thermal pools at Matamata. He rocked his floaty surf suit – pruny feet and all!
Our visit to Hobbiton – the only remaining bit of the Lord of the Rings on-location set. Bag-End, the Party (“Patty”) Tree, Amory in the Shire’s Rest cafe and local sheep.
Amory takes in sunset at Lake Rotorua.
