Road trip!

This is what we did on our road trip: Spent a lot of time in a small car (yep, 5 adults and all their stuff in that car) Once it even sort of broke down: There was a lot of singing and joking and car games, and yes, sleeping: Sometimes we went on hikes: We headed way off the beaten track: We even had to ford the occasional stream: After all this exertion, it’s no surprise that we got tired and needed more naps: Lots and lots of naps… To keep our energy up, we ate lots of food. Some of it was good for us. Most of it wasn’t: More than anything, we posed for pictures: And took pictures: Lots of lots of pictures: And then there was the random stuff that is hard to explain: Yeah…about that…

And sewing! I’m so excited about being back at my machine (though I did do hand sewing on the trip), and can’t wait to show you all the projects I’m working on. I want to show you photographs too…but… my memory card failed. And I have to take it to a computer shop and hope they can be recovered. Grrr….bummer!

Still, it felt very NZ, and reminded me of how much I like springtime, especially the parts that involve gamboling lambs. Here are some of my lamb experiences:
