While we've really enjoyed Queenstown, we realize that it's a little too crowded and touristy for us. We want our boys to experience what it feels like to truly live on the edge of the world. We haven't told anyone yet, but we've been exploring some of the outer New Zealand islands. The Bounty Islands look the most promising option, especially since we heard back from the New Zealand Immigration Service that they are trying to repopulate the islands with humans and would help sponsor our relocation and distance learning for the boys. Doug boats out next weekend to test his new satellite Internet service and diesel generator. Another option is Campbell Island, where the New Zealand Meteorological Service is looking to sponsor someone to maintain their weather equipment. We still hope to have lots of friends and family visit wherever we ultimately land.

AND A JOYFUL APRIL FOOL'S DAY TO YOU TOO, MY DEARS.
I WILL BE OVER TO VISIT YOU WITH A NEW PRODUCT MY COMPANY HAS DEVELOPED TO ALLOW FAMILIES TO CONTROL CHILDREN AND KEEP THEM SAFELY HOME.

April Fool! Right??
Please tell me this is an April Fools joke!!
April fools? - Paul Bressie
Remember that one time at Christmas when you short sheeted everybody's bed but mine, then got the whole family to believe that i had done it--this feels a little bit like that.
April Fools !!! Right? Please let me be right. (I do love penguins)
I wonder what today is... ;-)
"Guano deposits accumulate in summer." seems to be the most compelling reason to move there!

Love the fooling! Grace taped the sink sprayer on, and John got a shower...
Love, Gretchen
