Holiday in Hanmer!

Here’s some photos from our holiday in Hanmer Springs. We went up there for a few days to have a break from CHCH. Had a great time! We were with Rich, Aimee and Nim Poole. They’re pretty cruisy guys to hang with and we managed to do a few fun things. Played in the snow, café’s, bike riding, walks, Indian food and movies.

My personal hilight was convincing Sarah to take a dip (in the snow) at the Hanmer Springs hot pools one night. We just soaked in 37 degree awesomeness until we turned into prunes.

Here’s Jack thinking about throwing a snowball at Rich!

The family climbing a wee bank… Jack slipped down soon after the photo was taken. He loved it though.

I took my boy for an adventure on his bmx and my bike down to the local river. There was a track beside the creek which was pretty muddy so we had a blast of a time. Wore him out nicely!

This is the view from the bach.

We had a pretty hairy drive back from Hanmer. The roads were fairly treacherous but we all got back ok. When we got back though, we were greeted with a totally white Christchurch and even our place was covered!

Splat has a new friend!

Looks like Splat and Jack have become buddies. Jackson will be stoked that Splat is sleeping on his bed…

The concert at daycare…

One of the kids was leaving so they put on a concert. Here’s some of Jack’s costumes. He could be on Shortland Street!

Jackson debating what suits his soon to be pirate image better… This is a mask he’s going to make with Nana today.

Jack and his bike…

He’s turning into a speedy, crazy biker boy!  I took Jackson to McLeans Island today for a ride around the track. He’s a speedy thing! He weaved through all the trees and rode up the bumps. We did about 2km tonight which is a pretty good ride for a 4 year old!

Check out below the tabletop ramp I’m making him in the shed. Every wee lad needs a ramp to act dangerous on!

Nice family shot…

Jackson the super biker!

I took Jack to the Hornby bike park tonight for a blat. Check out my boy ripping it up! What a dude! Next lesson – Jumps!

Jack’s Lego Jetboat!

How’s this for an awesome lego creation. He’s getting really good at doing the big kitsets and also making plenty of his own inventions.  😉
