Nancy had a medical conference to attend in Rotorua. Helen, Bryan, and Madeleine tagged along. Here we are enjoying dinner at the Fat Dog restaurant.

At the lakefront playground with another curly-headed little girl.

She's too young to go down the slide but that's ok - she has a great time just standing up by it.

Nancy and Helen are descending the very steep steps down to the Buried Village waterfall.

Pretty waterfall.

Nancy and her mom enjoy the scenic waterfall views.

Madeleine's fleece jacket worked well as winter pants.

This is the view from in front of the waterfall. This region was devastated by an earthquake in the late 1800's and the landscape is very different now than it was back then.
