Dinner on Lake Tahoe

Tonight we had dinner on a beautiful paddle boat called the Tahoe Queen.


During the cruise, we passed a lovely place called Emerald Bay and saw some small eagles, can you spot them?





Lake Tahoe

Lake Tahoe is 9 hours drive north of Las Vegas.  It is a beautiful place, similar to Taupo.  It has a stunning lake,  lots of mountains, snow and pine tress!

OMG...KK and MN were such a handful at the Zoo!!!   Can you find them in the photos?





I had a wonderful time seeing all the animals although I felt very sad about them living in very small enclosures.

Legoland (part 2)

The following photos are from LEGOLAND.  Can you see KK or MN?  Some photos have one or both or neither.  Good luck!

Legoland (part 1)

Hi Minions, I was so excited talking to you today!  It was a bit tricky seeing everyone.
Today we went to Legoland. Our trip in the car was very strange because KK kept wanting to look out the front window!

Legoland was more than amazing!!!  I wish we could do a class trip there.
While sitting on a bench, our little Kurly Kiwi made friends.  I think you know who this is...






I wonder what their conversation might have been?  Tell me what you think they said to each other.

9 days to go!

We found out today that Los Angeles is is 20 hours behind New Zealand. So if it is 1.00pm in New Zealand what time would it be in Los Angeles?





Can you think of a quick way to work out the time?

10 days to go!

I bought my cabin bag today.  That's a bag I can carry onto the plane.  It has to be certain size or Air New Zealand won't let me take it on the plane.  The total of the width + length + height must not be more than 118cm. The bag I bought is width: 35cm, length: 21cm and height: 56cm.  I wonder if I can take my new bag? If you work out the answer to my problem tell me at school... I will have a little treat for you:-)
