Our final stop on our New Zealand trip was Queenstown. It was also where we stayed the longest after many recommendations to do so. We were glad we did.
Queenstown is an amazing place for many reason. It is flooded with extreme sport possibilities, easy to navigate with tons to do, great food, and within the three days were we there, we met 3 Cougs! Yes folks, wearing Coug gear has done it again. Another reason to love WSU and the community it has.
We stayed at a very trendy hostel and our kids were the only ones in it. The rest was filled with 20something "kids" there to work during the peak season, or traveling. The location was great and allowed us to walk everywhere we wanted and needed to go. Within the first day, we had found our watering hole and the kids a rope swing. We spent the next three afternoons and nights there after the days adventures drinking and eating.
During the days, we filled it was parks and hikes. Amelia was dying to do some extreme sports, but due to size and age, we were limited. We opted for the luge. This resulted in awesome views on top of a mountain with more drinking and eating. We truly lucked out with the weather and Queenstown is definitely a place I could see myself living (Don't worry family, there is no plans for this to transpire).

| There seemed to be a plethora of rope swings around NZ. The kids found them everywhere. It equaled hours of fun. |

| The famous Fergburger. I waited in line for over an hour. Wade said his wasn't worth it, mine was pretty good. |
 |
| Amelia's first shot. Don't worry, it was water. The waitress brought it for her. |
