Ben and Cris attended their first professional rugby test on Saturday night in Hamilton. They had a great time celebrating Ben's 8th birthday cheering on the New Zealand All Blacks as they defeated the Argentina Pumas 28 to 13.
One of Ben's favorite parts of the game was the traditional opening Haka by the All Blacks.
Pre-game fuelling
Crazy Argentina fans
Jackie Thomas, winner of X Factor New Zealand, performed before the match
Ben used some of his birthday money (thanks Boppa and Bakka!) to buy himself a souvenir hat
"Crouch, bind, set... yes 9!"
They had such an amazing time and a once in a lifetime experience!
The next day we stopped at the Waitomo Caves, one of the top items on Ben's must-see list. We toured two of the caves: Aranui Cave and the Waitomo Glowworm Cave.
And a couple of cheesy tourist pics...
Another successful, family adventure getting to know this great country of New Zealand!
