I ended up finding an outfit for an actual baby, and he wore it for May the Fourth!

It feels SO good to floss after eating popcorn.

I get more and more motion sick the older I get. It's awful.

A few brave ants tried crossing the moat and perished.

Finally, the very last of my New Zealand trip comics. I'm always glad later to have detailed comics about our travels, but making them takes forever 😅

Queenstown was pretty cool! There was so much to do!

The jet skis were painted to look like fierce sharks and orcas. They were pretty fun to watch coming in and out of the water!

Part of me wanted to bungy jump just to teach my anxiety a lesson, but it was like $200 and zip lining was only $30 :/

I didn't go to New Zealand planning to do a ton of bird watching, but it ended up being one of the highlights for me! My Merlin app got a bunch of use that trip.

The sheep dog was so good at her job, even with an audience! We were all very impressed.

One of my favorite parts of our trip!

[comicdiaries]

I've never seen so many sheep in one place. They were so cute!

[comicdiaries]

Kiwi birds are nocturnal, so they were kept in an enclosure that simulated nighttime so we could see them on our visit. They're so cute and much bigger than we all expected!

Our trip to New Zealand wasn't very long, but I probably saw new flush designs every day. So interesting coming from a country where they're almost all the same.
