New Year

First of all, since we are in Auckland, I was one of the first people to bring in the new year in a big city.  New years eve was last night and I got to watch fireworks from my hotel go off on the tower.  If you go on yahoo there is a picture on the middle right section.  Anyway, yesterday we went to Devon Port to hang out for the day.  We were just kind of walking around looking at the amazing trees they have and we walked into a store and my parents started talking to the owner about the town and he said the movie theater was pretty cool.  Half my family wanted to see the movie The Hobbit-An Unexpected Journey so we decided to go see the movie in the oldest theater in New Zealand.  I thought that was pretty cool because those movies were made in New Zealand.  After that we were going to stay and watch the fireworks from there but we got too tired but my dad wanted to still take pictures.  We had an argument and finally settled on just going back to the hotel because we were all tired.  My dad stayed up for the fireworks but I watched a movie and fell asleep.  A few minutes later I heard a boom so I got up and watched my dad take pictures of the fireworks. Then today we just stayed here and started packing for are trip to Gisborne.  We will be there for about a month but during are drive we are going to stop at a few places where they shot the Lord Of The Rings series and the Hobbit series.  The people here are really nice.  I do not think it will be like that everywhere so  I am going to try to enjoy it as much as possible.
