Lake Tekapo

The Church of the Good Shepherd is a small, picturesque stone church located on the shores of Lake Tekapo. It is renowned for its stunning natural setting and is one of the most photographed buildings in New Zealand. Built in 1935 as a memorial to the early settlers of the Mackenzie Basin, it was constructed using local stones gathered within a five-mile radius and blends seamlessly into its surroundings.

Pictured below is a recently constructed footbridge across the Tekapo River. Completed in 2015, the bridge spans 410 feet and stands 410 feet above the water. We have seen many bridges in New Zealand, and I would have to say this is probably my favorite.

In the news on the home front, the product that Maya has been working on at Formlabs was just announced. See the video below. Kyle has taken up Salsa and Bachata dancing, and Nicolai will be playing amputee soccer at Gillette Stadium on April 19th.
