Visit to Akaroa…

We took off for a drive with the kids to Pigeon Bay but Livvy had other ideas. She did a full on car sick power chuck in Sarah’s new car.

With no spare clothes, we detoured to Akaroa and got a cheap shirt and pants. Had fish and chips, walked around in the blustery wind, checked out the lighthouse and drove home. Was a nice day!

Christmas at the Stones!

Jane, Simon, Zach and Jed came down for Christmas this year (and New Years). We loved hanging out with them and the kids had a blast (when not killing each other.

Here’s a few pics (and some of the new pony, Milo)…

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!

Jack’s little sister

Jackson is starting to like having a sister. Not so sure Olivia’s keen by the look of her face – brilliant expression!

Here’s a couple of cool sisters hanging out at the local tavern. We took the family out for a nice pub meal. They’ve been visiting this week and it was great to catch up.
