Auckland Family Trip

The Stone crew popped up to Auckland this week to see the Auckland family. I’ll post a few updates, but here’s a few pics from a nice day out on the water today. We went to Waiheke, Matiatia, Rangitoto and Mototapu. They all loved it. Livvy was a little nervous of the speed but got the hang of it in the end.

We took the kids for a trip to the Auckland Museum. They had a ball, but Livvy was pretty tired. Still was quite an impressive place to visit.

Always a good time at the Dobbs. Jack below is getting to grips with Timothy’s compound bow. He did pretty good! The boys took him up the tree hut as well for some bug-hunting!

Jack’s Model Boat…

Check out this 1/50 replica of the family boat. My boy is doing well in the workshop. He did this himself.

Two dingys in a tub!

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!  😉

Wow! Still snow around!

I took Nick Reekie and Jackson to Akaroa for a blat in the boat. No fish, but I was amazed to see there was still snow on the hills!

Great Barrier Trip

The ‘boys’ took a fishing trip to the Great Barrier Island for Ben’s birthday. Was a great trip and relaxing time with the mates… Great weather, fish to eat and good company. This is Gavin’s dad’s boat.
