Ben gave me the opportunity to go out fishing at Tairua. When I turned up, it appeared he had taken the bottom off a wheelbarrow and put it on a trailer. We went for a blat around the estuary but due to the iddy biddy 12v trolling motor, we decided not to cross the bar. Was a total hoot! 😉
Here’s a few pics of the new office I’ve just setup in Auckland for our software co. Looking pretty swish!
Jackson totally loves his sister…
My wonderful family!
Little miss cheeky – Olivia!
The Vivians. Great mates…
Jack, Ella and Grace…
Here’s Jack doing an awesome jump of the main walkway!
And this is my bike. Prob a bit old to be doing this but who cares, I’m having fun! Reliving my youth!
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!
Livvy in her snow suit looking like a cute pink blob!
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!
That’s Sarah’s car below under the white stuff!
To end off a great weekend Jack and I made snowmen… Cool eh!
Dad and Olivia being lazy. This is the way Sundays should be spent.
Just a nice moment with Dad and Olivia …
My brother Simon came down to visit recently and was sporting a fairly decent beard. I was pretty impressed so had to try to match it. Below is the comparison… Not sure who won.
He has the better beard but I have the better mo… Time for a shave!
When on the Milford Track with some mates, I had a fish. Didn’t catch anything but there were plenty of decent sized fish chasing the lures!
Here’s a photo Simon Sharp took… Awesome photographer…
I was lucky and blessed enough to be given the opportunity to go tramping with Gavin and some old mates on the Milford Track in Fiordland in Jan.
I went with Gavin, Darren, Gareth, Leigh, Simon and Annette. Awesome bunch of people who have all played a part in my life at some point. It was a great trip, and although the legs are a little sore, I’m glad I made the effort. Looking forward to another trip again in the near future!
It just drove home to me that life is too short to pass up opportunities and we need to get out there and experience things while we can!
Here’s some pics!
