Xmas spirit has arrived at the Stones!

I think Jackson has somehow hold hold of Sarah’s Christmas spirit! They’re all in there madly decorating the tree! And it’s only November!

Stone’s adventure walk at Glentui Bush!

We all took a nice family walk today. We’re heading to Aussie soon for a holiday and wanted to try out the new baby backpack. Works like a charm! She didn’t fall out so that’s good! I think the walk was about 3-4km up some fairly steep tracks. Much fun!

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!

Mum and Daughter chatting!

Here’s a nice vid of Sarah and Olivia having a wee chat. She’s turning into a little chatterbox these days!

A day at Akaroa!

Sunday morning was gloomy in Christchurch so I grabbed the family and took them to Akaroa for a break and a fish. I was really proud of Jackson as he caught his first fish solo.

He dropped the line, hooked the fish and reeled it in himself. What a rush! Time for the big fish now! I’m feeling the need to take the boat out for a proper fish somewhere!

Why is it that when I get a lovely photo of Sarah Olivia has to poke her tongue out to spoil the shot…

“Wow Jack, what a big gun you have!”
