It was a rainy day in Christchurch on Monday. We were going to go to the beach, but instead drove up to Akaora, which is a cute French style town and wondered around there. We also went to the Christchurch museum. The museum was pretty cool and had a great exhibit on transportation and on Antarctica. There was also a fun exhibit and movie about this little old couple that filled their house with paua shells. All of the walls in their living room were covered and they would open their house up for people to come see. it was a pretty cool story and exhibit.
For dinner that night we made spaghetti for all 16 of us and we had tons left over, so we could do it again the next night.
For FHE, James Amu told us about the history of the church in New Zealand. It was a pretty cool story. The Church had been in New Zealand for a a long time and the Hurts and James Holder were the first kiwi members. The first stake in New Zealand was formed at the same time a temple was built here in the 1880s. It was so interesting to hear the history and how the Church has grown in New Zealand. James also played farkle with all the girls which was pretty fun he is so competitive and Johnny was so funny with that game. I am glad Johnny was with us on this trip and that James goes on all of our trips with us. They are fun to have around and know so much about the country. Late that night all of the girls watched Chocolat, which I had never seen before, but it was a good classic movie and I really enjoyed it. All of us were really tired when it got over around midnight. We are such grandma's what ever happen to being able to stay up all hours of the night as college kids?
