There’s still a few tweaks to do to the gokart, around the steering but the family project is done! Jack was the first to faceplant on the driveway tonight! Good dose of gravel rash! Excellent! Go hard kid!
Another winner rolls out of the workshop!
Mechanic Livvy getting to grips with adjusting the steering. Note the safety gloves!
Sarah was doing a horsey day so I took the kids out to the Groynes for a play and bit of fresh air. They had a blast and just ran around heaps. Was great to see them having fun! They’re cool kids and really love each other!
Quick GoKart project
When we got back, Olivia was asleep in the car, so Jack and I hit the workshop and in an hour or so we knocked up the start of a pretty cool GoKart! It’s just a push one, but it’ll be fun. They picked up a couple of extra wheels for the front from Bunnings today so we’ll finish the front axle tomorrow.
I think my family is awesome – ‘nuff said!
The cheeky faces of Livvy…
And of course Jack!
What a good lad. Check this out…
And the dynamic duo…

And of course – Super Sarah!
We all decided to hang out for the day today and just spend some quality time. I drove the Stone crew up to the Hurunui river for a spot of trout fishing. Jack and Sarah did some excellent casting!
Then it was off to the Waimak by the mouth for a quick spot of Salmon fishing. Heaps of people down there and Jack had a go at a bigger rod. He ended up having fun by throwing himself in the river!
We all went to the Rakaia Gorge today to have a fish. I really wanted to get Jackson started with the spinning rod and also try him on the fly rod.
It turns out he was an excellent caster, and hit the far bank a few times! I also have him a go with the fly rod and he seemed to get the idea.
A few small rises, but they were mostly tiddlers. It was really just a great practice day for Jack to learn his casting.
I think I’ll take him up a real back country river next and see if we can get him into a trout! He’ll love that!
My cool kid…
Check out this wee baby brown trout that gobbled my nymph! it was tiny! Still Jack was happy to see a fish.
Even Livvy got into it with her little rod!
Here’s my best two girls sharing a moment to have a tea party with the bears.
This is “Gus”, Sarah’s new horse, he’s a big boy! 17 hands high!
We took a wee holiday to Auckland to see the family and have a break. Here’s a few random photos…
Jack and Dad spent the day at the Christchurch show just hanging out and going on everything we could. He was a perfect kid all day! What more can a dad ask for than to hang with his boy!
Of course Sarah put in an awesome performance as well!
