Sparks flying!!

And today’s workshop lesson was all about hot metal, grinding, sparks and mig welding! I’m sorting out the workshop so he actually played with heaps today! We also played with all the air tools and Jack AirHammered a small hole in the garage floor. All good fun for a young boy!

Dad’s Day at the beach

I took the family for a nice day at Pines beach. We walked up the edge of the Waimak river, checked the whitebaiters and just hung out. Salt air is relaxing!

Jack’s Day up the Mountain – Mt Hutt…

I took Jack up Mt Hutt today on his School Ski trip. We had a Ski lesson, then swapped for a board Winking smile I taught Jack some more board skills and he’s rocking now! Starting to carve down the mountain! This is his second day on the board and he’s doing pretty well considering! He even got a few 360 spins in!

Bike Day with Jack

Jack and I went to McLeans Island for a wee ride. After the big winds, they’ve felled all the trees, so it’s pretty barren now, but still nice to get out with my boy!

Here’s a pile of photos from Sarah’s Gran and Poppa’s 90th party. They’re an awesome couple of oldies, totally in love, still living at home. We think they’re awesome. Jess, Kyle and the kids also came over from Aussie so was great to catch up with them too…
