ANZAC Day



















Today is Easter Monday and ANZAC Day here in NZ, that is the day where we remember all the men and women who have fought for us over the years.  We are also thinking of our family who got up at 4am to attend dawn parade in Rotorua.  Here in Wellington, we had a sleep in and take it easy Monday.

  2. We slept through Easter, too. ANZAC day is very important. Here in the states we have Memorial Day, which we think is next month.
