We're back in
the Great
Land, the Land of
the Midnight Sun, the Last
Frontier, the Great State
of Alaska, the 49th
State.......
The days and times
feel all mixed up when you cross the international
dateline. It's really quite extraordinary though and very interesting.
We had quite the
adventure before we left New Zealand. Grandma Judy & Grandpa Shirwin
took us to some wonderful places before we left. We had a super time
at the Auckland
Zoo.
Every animal imaginable
lives there - Galapagos Tortoises, Red Pandas, Wallabys, Kiwis, Monkeys
- and we just loved everything. We
also went to Kelly
Tarlton's Anarctic Encounter-Underwater World. Wait until you
see the Penguins! They are so much fun to
watch. The
actual day we departed we went to Rainbow's End which is a New Zealand
version of a small Disneyland.
After a great
day of playing and a very sad goodbye we left Auckland. (Remember
when we told you about going Disneyland 1997.
Well, we have to wait. Gramma had surgery on her knee so we'll go
later.) We
almost screamed when we saw our
home from the window of the jet and couldn't wait to land. It's
great to be back home and really super great to see our playhouse
and all of our friends again........
Well the
sun is shining in Alaska and we're going to help Gramma in her garden.
It's a huge garden with lots of pretty flowers. While we're busy doing
that we'd like to share some of the fantastic things we have here
in Alaska.
Get comfortable and have fun. Click

See you next month
for our 4th of July explosion. Bye-bye, thank you for visiting.
