Yup, as predicted, Team Australia won the Auckland Challenge! I am so proud of my ten.
We went to Massy College early this morning and learned rugby and cricket. The kids did a great job of surrendering pretty much every American sporting instinct they have and embracing these two new sports. Rugby is challenging because all passes must go backwards and it's non-stop, and the cricket bat and its required swing made fools of mostly all of us. We were unable to go sea kayaking because of the weather (rather cold and rainy), so we went to a golf driving range instead. From there we went back to the hotel where Josh, our manager, arranged a mud rugby match. I'm proud to say that Lauren, Lea, John, Matt, Ari, Chantelle, and Yasheel all played...and got good and muddy! They had to be hosed off behind the hotel. Breakfast is at 6:30 tomorrow morning, and then we're heading to Rotorua.

Who were you missing? There are 11 in the group and you said you were 10. Thanks for the updates. Say hi to Thomas and tell him we're looking forward to a phone call.
Gooooooo Team Australia!!
Sounds like you are packed with fun activities. I am starting to feel home sick for New Zealand even though Colorado is my home.
