It has been a very business weekend around here, as we are winding down our visit to New Zealand.
Friday we were invited to drinks at one of the neighbor's house. We had a delightful time, and they also have a 2 year old dog named, Millie- which have a the girls a great "friend" to play with!
A couple of Stas' students came up for an impromptu dinner, and ended up having a sleepover at our house! Shaffer then joined the girls and I for clamming early Saturday morning, and Elena watch the World Cup for most of the night!
After clamming we heading to our friends, Roka and Kerry's house, for a traditional Maori meal. Indian fry bread, clams, seafood chowder and a taste of mutton bird were enojoyed by us all. Roka, Kerry and their family have become dear friends, and we so appreciate their kindness, hospitality, and good company.
Saturday night we went to a comedy play called 39 steps which was quite lovely. The girls has another one of Stas' students as a babysitter- and of course played lots of games with Victoria.
Leslie, the last of the students here in Dunedin, was feeling a bit left out of the sleepovers, so after the play she stayed Saturday night at our house (along with Elena who is living here during soccer!).
Sunday we were invited to another neighbor's house, the Wyatt's. They have been so nice to us and we have enjoyed their company. In the States we have wonderful, dear neighbors who are like family to us. It was so nice for the girls to have neighbors here that reminded us so much of home. And, of course, we could not leave out Mrs. Wyatt's shortbread!
We climbed out way into bed early last night, to begin our new week!
