Kelly Tarlton's Underwater World

The Auckland Museum. Me and Janet tried to look as fearsome as he did, but I can't stick my tongue out that far. 

 The next pictures are from our trip to the South Island of New Zealand. We went to Queenstown first, which is a little town by a beautiful lake. It is the adventure capital of New Zealand and we got hooked on adrenaline while staying there. I went bungee jumping, swung on the world's highest swing, and went on a shot-over jet. It was pretty amazing! It also has a lot of places that the Lord of the Rings was filmed in. So the landscapes are breathtaking.

After Queenstown, we went to Christchurch- a quaint british town. 

  Crystal clear lake amidst the pine trees.

By a field of sheep, which is the most common sight in Q-town.

Anna and I being Gollum. 

Mine and Janet's engagement pic ;)

Right before I fell down on the path in the forest of Arrowtown.

Stuffing our faces at Ferg Burger. This is seriously the most delicious hamburger I've tasted in the whole entire world!

In fjordland- Milford Sound. This is where they shot scenes of Jurassic Park and Avatar. 

Waterfalls galore!

Anna makes me laugh.

Janet and me.

Peaceful sunset at Queenstown.

We loved sitting on the wall by the lake.

Our Gangsta' hats that we got for free after riding on the World's Largest Swing. (More pics of bungy jump and swing later on)

Riding Horses on the Lord of the Rings Official Tour!

My horse Randall.

Resting in the tree covered park in Christchurch.

Being scared at our driver's driving. He is notorious for driving close to mountains and cliffs. 

The 2 hour sandcastle project, complete with a seashell bridge.

Sand Art- my new calling in life. 

Live crab and live fisherman

Right and Center= Us drawing in the sand.
Left= Asians taking pictures of us. This happened very frequently. 

These next pictures are the start of the Botanical Gardens in Christchurch.
I was so excited at every turn of the corner! Every part was beautiful! I took a million pics,
but I spared you of most of them. We are bowing to Mother Nature here. 

Big tree. 

Inspecting the thousands of exoskeletons on the tree. 

Rose Garden.

Begonias. My newest favorite flower. Look at the beautiful colors!

More begonias.
