Just got back from this truly amazing place. Still processing. So much beauty. Plus we did the RV freedom camping thing for the first time ever. I was raised a backpacking purist, but in a place that gets 800 cm of rain a year in winter and with kids, this was the way to go. Learn as you go. #milfordsound #discovery #beauty #nature #vanlife #familytravel #friends #newzealand #sevenatsea #fezywig #fezywiginnewzealand (at Milford Sound) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0syEUBBgV0/?igshid=17sovfhmhoy3t

Lily working on her climbing moves down at the retainer wall. And various gorgeous views here on the farm. We overlook a channel coming into the harbor. I love watching the ships move slowly in and out from the ocean. #ocean #water #nature #beauty #boats #ships #newzealand #fezywiginnewzealand #sevenatsea #dadlife #family #fezywig (at Dunedin, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzKWFfOBM6I/?igshid=6la44g4i4iop

I present you with the stunning Elephant Rocks. We spent a lovely afternoon bouldering and top roping these surreal rocks set on private land amongst a flock of new lambs and their mamas. Fun fact: the battle scene in Aslan’s Camp from the Narnia movie was filmed here. - - #rockclimbing #bouldering #familyfun #familytravel #elephantrocks #nz #newzealand #familytravel #narnia #chroniclesofnarnia #movietrivia #fezywig #fezywiginnewzealand (at Elephant Rocks) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2DyZaWBoF9/?igshid=1le8rwyerg1c5

Walking the dogs (9 of 12 pictured : ), riding the quad bike, new calves, laundry triumph, dining al fresco with awesome friends. Not pictured: cow shot today after suffering sick through the whole weekend. #farmlife #lotsofdogs #dogs #dogsofinstagram #travel #familytravel #fezywig #fezywiginnewzealand (at New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/B15m_TIBZ1t/?igshid=iqx6s86tbewz

New calf born on the farm today. I won’t show pics of the afterbirth but there it was laying in the field. This little guy was nursing and walking while its umbilical tangled under its belly. On a sad note: we’ve had to deal with two dead goats and a cow that looks like it won’t make it. It’s the true circle of life. We’re learning so much. #farmsitting #farmlife #familytravel #travel #newzealand #nz #kiwilife #fezywig #fezywiginnewzealand 📷 by @emilyorton2020 (at Timaru, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1vSv28BnKh/?igshid=1fnj81rdmkro3

South Island Road Trip - Day 1- in the books. Camped at Long Beach. Climbed a few rock pitches. Met the horses at our next farm sit. Mexican food for dinner. And there was outdoor roller skating, but I can only up load so many pics at once on slow data. #roadtrip #rvlife #newzealand #familytravel #friends #fezywig #fezywiginnewzealand (at New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1KH4pVhTxN/?igshid=pgs2fcspgs2f

We’re farm sitting in the small town of Milton. All the streets are named after writers. Welcome to Writer (& Home School) Central. The pic of @emilyorton2020 ‘s gloves made me laugh. She almost never takes them off.

Seeing things in different light: I’m convinced the lens through which I see things in my life makes all the difference. Having the patience to examine something through a variety of circumstances can reveal so much. I want to learn to better see things in different light.

Today was a packing day. We moved out of our farm sit and back into town to stay with some dear friends. Here is the core of my traveling wardrobe. Pic 1: pjs, pants, shirts, socks. Pic 2: button ups, 1 pair of slacks, 1 tie and sport coat for special occasions. I think blue is my jam. #shadesofblue #travelwardrobe #travellife #clothes #basics #fezywiginnewzealand #fezywig (at Dunedin, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz-U1-4Bdm_/?igshid=fh4egkr9rkan
