Butterfly Creek Visit

I had some time to kill in Auckland while waiting for a flight so took Jackson to Butterfly Creek to check out the animals. Heaps of fun!

Our South Island Holiday!

Sarah, Jackson and I recently hooked up the boat and went on a holiday to the Marlborough Sounds and Lake Rotoiti. Here’s a few photos from the trip. It was great fun and we just relaxed for the first time in ages. 🙂

Christmas Day!

Christmas day at the Stones was pretty cruisy. Jack got a heap of prezzies, we had a nice breakfast, lunch at the Vivs, afternoon at Leslies and dinner at the Hodges! Missed the Auckland family but still a nice day.

Awesome Christmas Lunch at the Viv’s

We had Christmas lunch at the Viv’s this year. Was a great time, good company, good food and the kids had a blast! Here’s Jack showing Ella how to use the Slip-n-Slide!

Ella riding her new purple bike! I think she really likes it. Shouldn’t take too long to get the hang of it.

My two favourite people….

My amazing boy Jackson and lovely wife Sarah.

The kids take a break!

As a parent, this has to be the best – seeing kids sleeping! This is Jack taking a nap with mum and Devoe (his cousin) out like a light.

Jack’s First Fish! A great day at Akaroa fishing…

This is Jack’s first fish! Good job buddy! Look at the rod bending over – man, must be an absolute whale! Giant Kingfish perhaps!
