Redwood Memorial Grove, Whakarewarewa Forest, Rotorua, New Zealand
Skye is 5! At the rate the kids are growing, they’d be grownups in no time! With COVID around (and doesn’t look like it’s going away anytime soon), can’t even plan when we’d be able to fly again, let alone have the kids meet their cousins!
Sigh, summer is in full force (although summer officially only begins on 15 June in the UAE, but whaddya call temperatures of 43C, 44C???), where can we go without baking our skin off and eating desert sand?
…Here’s a little memory trip of a more pleasant time and weather. A trip to the woods with the family in NZ in 2018 Dec. Pray that the pandemic would end soon and for things to get back to ‘normal’. If it ever does…
Little Skye (2.5 years old at that time), with her mommy and aunts, at the Redwood Forest, Rotorua
The redwoods (giant sequoias) are native to California, USA and were planted in Rotorua, NZ a hundred plus years ago
Redwoods Treewalk – a suspended walkway among the majestic redwood trees – nice for a quiet time of contemplation
I did it! Anu is afraid of heights. But surprisingly, she fared quite well on this trip.
What are these? Homes of the tree elves? Nah, they’re lamps that light up at night
These woods are ideal for playing hide and seek. Hey boys, where are you???
There you are! Jayden with his NZ cousin, Jared – Redwoods Forest, Rotorua, NZ, Dec 2018
