How Dads make lunch!

French Toast in the shape of Christmas trees with hundreds and thousands all over. Am I a good dad or what?

Scary Mudslide Fun!

Jack and his buddy George take on the mudslides in Little River! This is them before they got dirty. If you look carefully you’ll see Jack is wearing a wetsuit on top of his trackies! He’s a fashion king!

Two Tired Kids!

We must have worked them too hard. Just pottered around in town for a bit, walked around the Riccarton Markets and this is what they were like when they got back. Cute eh!

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…

15km! What a man!

Jack and I went to McLeans Island bike track today for a hoon. He did the Corringa side track (5km) on top of the usual track, so 15km in all!

I did sneak him a 1/2 Snicker bar at half way to make sure he had energy, but he didn’t once look tired! Time to up the ante to 20km!

Jack’s Cross Country

Jackson did a great job at school and came second in cross country! He put in an awesome effort so we’re totally proud! Only issue was he stopped just before the finish line and mucked around – nearly had another kid run past. Still we’re stoked, good job Jack!

Kids at the beach!

Sarah was out doing horsey things today so I took the kids out for some fun. First we went to Orana Park and checked out all the animals. Then I took them down to the Waimak mouth and let the kids play on the beach. They totally loved it.

Jack’s such a good boy. Olivia wandered off so he went and got her. Walked all the way back holding her hand.

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!
