SmugMug > all-time keyword > newzealand > Milliseconds after this photo is taken, the pig has had enough, swings around and bites the boy in the leg. The boy huddles in the corner and starts crying, but he puts on a real brave face and won't let me help him. Big sister starts scolding (aka kicking) the pig for biting her brother, so the pig reels around and bites the girl on the leg. Both kids freak out, start crying, quickly haul-ass out of the pigpen, scamble over the gate, and run home to mommy....leaving us city slickers stranded amongst the vicious attack pigs. ;)
SmugMug > all-time keyword > newzealand > Umm, maybe you shouldn't attempt to mount the hungry pig while he is eating? I'm just sayin'.

They must know, right? The pigs are their friends they proclaim!
SmugMug > all-time keyword > newzealand > "What his name?" Dan asks the boy. "Black Pearl" says the boy in a Kiwi accent. "Black Power!?!?!" Dan questions. "No silly, Black Pearl! Black P e a r l !".

Black Power quickly becomes the running joke of the trip.
SmugMug > all-time keyword > newzealand > ok, so the kids start feeding the pigs...
SmugMug > all-time keyword > newzealand > We spent a couple nights on a family farmstay in Te Anau. It was a great experience. In this shot, we are embarking on an early morning feeding of the hogs with the family's two enthusiastic children. They were incredibly cute and simultalkative and funny and quite difficult to understand. A good time was being had by all. Little did we anticipate what was about to go down...
