The Stones beat the Tough Mudder!

Thanks to Gopika’s awesome photography, here’s some photos from the Tough Mudder event Sarah and I just completed!! about 20km of muddy madness! Tested us to our limits. We had a team of 6 and it was definitely a team effort to get through.

I can tell you… I have one amazing tough wife! Sarah was awesome and did everything, even got electrocuted! Love her to bits!

A nice day at the beach

We spent the afternoon at Cockle Bay with the family, just hanging out. It was great to let the kids play, pickup crabs, get sunburnt and just have a great time.

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.

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!

Jack’s 7th Birthday!

What a weekend! Definitely full on having a pack of 6-7 year olds staying the night! They were ok, plenty of fun, go-karts, bikes, basketball, tenting, fire, games etc! Well done Jack! 7 years old is a bit of a milestone, we’re losing our wee boy and gaining a young man!
