Sheenagh Morrison: Reconnecting with Family and Friends in New Zealand

I’ve just had a month in New Zealand with my family who I don’t see very often because I live in Canada  and they live in New Zealand.

when I arrived in New Zealand on December 9th 2011 I stayed with my mom’s brother and his with and another uncle and auntie were staying at the same house, and so was my youngest cousin.  My cousin who I have not seen in a few years stopped by for a quick hi and a glass of water on his way home from a night shift at the hospital.

On my last day in Auckland another cousin stopped by for dinner.

I had a great time with them all in Auckland.

I then had a few nights in Christchurch with my older cousin on my dad’s side , I got to meet my youngest second cousin on my dad’s side for the first time.

We had a fun few days together, then I went to stay with my moms other brother and see the damage to his house after the earth quakes.

Then my mom and I went down to Dunedin, in Dunedin i stayed with my mom’s other brother and we saw some family friends in Dunedin as well for a coffee.  We then went down to Queenstown for my last few  weeks in New Zealand.  it was so much  fun, I saw some family who I have not seen in 9 years and it was so awesome to see them.

I had a great time catching up with my family and friends.
