Hi you two!!
Haven't read your entries for a few days but have enjoyed catching up on them on this dull sunday afternoon! Both sound like your having a brilliant time!!!! Looking forward to reading more of your amazing adventures!
I did get your email phil. However, it was empty!! Was this intentional??!!

Take care, love to you both xx xx

So glad that you are having such a wonderful time and I doubt if there is anything else you could have done !! I thought you would enjoy Wanaka, it is so beautiful. The photographs are excellent and have been seen by many of my friends. Hope you have a good flight to Aussy. Gemma might like to see round the "Neighbours" set in North Melbourne..it is free. I did a 'simulated flight' on my computer from Wanaka airport. Could you see Mt.Cook from the plane ? Take care. All my fondest love. Gramps. ( Gem xxxx)

Hiya Guys...

Thank god you guys keep landing on your feet! When up in the air you will always come down, just glad you two do it with such style,grace and photographic evidence... Gemma, did it cost extra to use a pink parachute?? fantastic,

New Zealand clearly is the place to be right now, maybe even better than Brisbane with the cricket barmy army, we got smashed yesterday! bloody aussies. When you see one can you push him or her over!

Off to Anna's 6th Birthday party very soon, and looking after your sister Natalie while Mum and Dad go off for a dirty few days away together x x

Keep doing what your doing, crazy crazy fruitcakes, so glad your both having the times of your lives.

Phil, try and keep her below 12,000 feet for the rest of the trip! Take care guys.

Hello to you both!

Not much has changed here I still have big ears, look a lot like a monkey and make really poor 'That's what your mum said' jokes!

hi guys thanks for annas presents she loves them and wont have to wait long to wear them,it was great to speak to you this morning as we all still miss you both loads.
youre journal and pictures are superb reading and great pictures, great to see you having and doing so many great things,getting slightly jealous of you both jumping out of planes & of towers, going up glaciers ,rolling around in zoobes and everthing else youre upto.
carry on having a great time missing you both mell and girls send there love to.

Hi Phil,
I'm sorry for posting jokes on here that really aren't funny at all, it's my very limited and childlike humour! Sometimes I have been compared to a remedial, others an oaf.
