We rode on a helicopter through the glaciers!!! 11/8/08

Tallest mountain in New Zealand

We were headed to see the glaciers this weekend and made a sporadic decision to do it in style! We got our first helicopter ride! It was such an awesome experience - first getting to ride in a helicopter, second getting to see all of the glaciers. As we were halfway up to our destination, the front passenger door flew open and we had to make an emergency landing so that the pilot could close the door properly. We almost pooped our pants but it was really funny!
