Fun day on the water

Sarah took the kids to the Groynes for a play on the water. Check out Jack’s smile! He’s loving it! I reckon he’s going to get into kayaking – he’d be great!

A hike with the Nortons

Sarah and the kids took Karolyn and their two for a bush walk the other day up to Kowhai bush. Check out some of the cool photos. They’ve all become pretty good mates!

Swimming in Leslie’s Pool

Here’s a snippet from the Stonecrew mucking around up the road. Jack’s just learnt to snorkle and Livvy is slowly getting the hang of swimming… Note that Livvie jumps up and bites me at one point!

A day at the beach

We took a drive over to Sumner Beach today to let the kids get some fresh air. Had a good time, here’s a few pics from the day. The kids loved it.

Jack’s Auckland visit

Jack came to Auckland with me on the latest tri. We stayed with the AK Stones and made sure we got in a good fishing trip. No huge fish but got a keeper. The kids had fun and we made sure we let them get a swim in at Motuhi on the way back.

Dad’s Bed Build for Livvy!

I spent a solid day in the workshop last Saturday knocking up a new ‘big girl’ bed for Olivia. Check it out! We’ll move it to her room this week and with a bit of luck she’ll actually sleep in it without getting up!

A day at the Hood!

We took a few families to Lake Hood today for a play on the boat and to let the little kids swim in the lake. Had a blast and we even had a 30 min thunder and lightening storm directly overhead! Sarah got up on the wakeboard and the kids all did the biscuit. Next trip we’ll head to McKenzie country!
