Jack doing jumps!

He’s just worked out jumps and can also drop in on the quarter pipe at Rolleston. What a cool kid! Taking after his Dad for sure!

A Stoney Christmas!

Here’s a pile of photos from the Stone family Christmas 2013! It was an epic bash and total chaos for a week but in a good way! We had the best time – love them all!

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!

Fishing with Chris…

A mate, Chris asked me if I wanted to come fishing with him the next day, so I of course jumped at the chance! We went to a few rivers, but the Opihi Gorge was the star of the day!  Check out these awesome photos of the gorge!

Squirtle!… A great Day at the Hood!

Meet ‘Squirtle’ the new addition to the Stone clan. 30yo, retro ski boat with a beasty motor. We just couldn’t miss the water fun this summer! Christened her on Lake Hood today with a few good friends and had a blast. It goes like snot! All the boys got out on the ski biscuit and I wasn’t able to make Jack fall off!

The Stone Men’s Selfie…

Interesting comparison. What a difference 34 years makes!! He’s on his way and should grow up big and strong like Dad! Funny eh…

Fresh air for the kids!

I took the kids up to Castle Rock today to get some southern air in their lungs. They had a ball, did well and were completely exhausted at the end of it all.

I thought I’d see how fit Jack was on the way back so I put a rock in his backpack (about 10kg) and he walked back to the truck. It was a practice for me taking him tramping. Good lad though, he toughed it back and earned a chocolate bar!

Rounded off the day with a picnic dinner in a chair tent they made on the lawn. Totally loved hanging with the kids today. They were fantastic!

Day at the Derby!

When we saw an ad in the paper for a ‘Combine Harvester Demolition Derby’ we just had to go!! It was just a great day out with the kids. They totally loved it!
