Day off fishing with Dad…

Just had a nice day on the water with Dad. Mostly we caught tiddlers, but was still a great day with heaps of sun! We went around Waiheke and tried everything, but mostly just small fish today. It was such a nice day though that we didn’t mind. I made Dad a  cuppa over by the muscle farms.

They found snow!

Sarah, Olivia, Mum and Gran went for a ride up to the hills to find some snow. They found a bit! Not much, but snow is snow!

Snow day in the hills!

I took the family up to the hills today to play in the snow. Was a great time, deep powder and an awesome slope for the toboggan. Check out Sarah’s crash in the vid below…

Mothers Day–Up in the hills with family!

After a nice bacon and egg breakfast for Mothers Day and a treasure hunt from Jackson, we took to the hills for the afternoon. The lot of us went to Arthurs Pass for lunch and then played at the upper Waimak and Lake Pearson on the way back.

We also went for a wee hike up Castle Hill and played around the boulders. The kids loved it.

We had a lovely day – it’s great having family time!
