Big Fish! Big Boulders! Big Lakes! Big Mountains! Big Family!

Graham (knowing how much I love gardens) took us to a friend's peony garden. He sells to florists in the area. They were absolutely breathtaking! It was such a treat for me. My favorite variety was Miss America. We went to see the Moreki Boulders and to eat lunch on the seashore. Great fresh fish! After lunch, we went fishing with Mel (a husband of Rachel's cousin) and his fisherman extraordinaire friend.....Pete. Besides being on a beautiful river, we caught some beautiful fish! It was lots of fun! Mel took us back to Graham's where we packed up and followed Graham to the mountains. We drove to a beautiful lake where Mel and his wife, Debbie, have a great place! They treated us to a grand back yard BBQ dinner where we had fun visiting with even more of Rachel's McNeill cousins. The food and fellowship was great! We watched the national New Zealand election returns with all of Rachel's "rellies". It was very interesting!
