February 6 = July 4

Independence day in NZ! Waitangi Day weekend involved a lazy Saturday (soccer game, ocean swimmin, burger bbq, drinks on the deck and a very long trek to the "within walking distance" pub. Sunday was a music festival in Auckland, featuring katchafire, soljah, and 1816, all reggae and ska kinda music. Very fun and relaxing way to spend the national holiday weekend

Taken from the shore, mountains and clouds we see every morning. Wowza, right?

"look natural" with our NZ beers on the deck

American hotdogs! Just in case you get sick of all this lamb

Auckland from the car

pups at the festival

Sunhats to protect our poor heads from the crazy sun, and sunglasses (of varying degrees of priciness, mine are $5 knock-offs of Hannah's RayBans :) to protect the peepers!

Happy Waitangi Day!
