Flashback Friday: My Tree Hugging Son, New Zealand 2004

Philip attempting to hug a Norflk Pine, 11 years old, Bay of Islands, New Zealand. (I think he will grow up to be a Biologist. It really is his forte').
 
Same visit: Philip climbing an old Pohutukawa tree on Urupukapuka Island. (Say that fast 20 times). He loved NZ because he could go barefoot. We saw kids running to school without any shoes when we were visiting the Bay of Islands. That fascinated Philip. I think he still dreams of not having to wear shoes...ever. Oh, and climbing and hugging those awesome trees again. Don't tell him I told you cuz now he is way too cool to be climbing and hugging. He is a Senior, don't ya know.
