15km! What a man!
Jack and I went to McLeans Island bike track today for a hoon. He did the Corringa side track (5km) on top of the usual track, so 15km in all!
I did sneak him a 1/2 Snicker bar at half way to make sure he had energy, but he didn’t once look tired! Time to up the ante to 20km!
Jack’s Cross Country
Jackson did a great job at school and came second in cross country! He put in an awesome effort so we’re totally proud! Only issue was he stopped just before the finish line and mucked around – nearly had another kid run past. Still we’re stoked, good job Jack!
Kids at the beach!
Sarah was out doing horsey things today so I took the kids out for some fun. First we went to Orana Park and checked out all the animals. Then I took them down to the Waimak mouth and let the kids play on the beach. They totally loved it.
Jack’s such a good boy. Olivia wandered off so he went and got her. Walked all the way back holding her hand.
Jack throwing stones and Olivia wondering what all the fuss is.
Mothers Day–Up in the hills with family!
After a nice bacon and egg breakfast for Mothers Day and a treasure hunt from Jackson, we took to the hills for the afternoon. The lot of us went to Arthurs Pass for lunch and then played at the upper Waimak and Lake Pearson on the way back.
We also went for a wee hike up Castle Hill and played around the boulders. The kids loved it.
We had a lovely day – it’s great having family time!
Ben’s pet bird!
We visited Ben and Rose and the kids. ben showed us his pet bird which sat on his shoulder like a pirate over lunch. It’s pretty cool. Here’s Jackson holding the wee fella… Was fantastic to catch up with the family.
Visit to the Stones–Livvy the bumblebee!
Check out Olivia the bumblebee. She loved getting dressed up!
Here’s the whole troop! Emily, Abigail, Rowan, Jack and Olivia!
Fun at the Dobbs!
We drove down to the Dobbs in Hamilton to have a catch up and see the new addition. Pete took the boys to the tramp and gave them some leaf blowers to play with. How cool was that!
Jack’s visit to Auckland
I took Jack to Auckland to see the ‘How To Train Your Dragon’ show and visit his cousin Zach. Awesome stage show and amazing effects! Here’s some pics from the trip.
Here’s Jack reading a book to Zach.
Typical breakfast at Simon’s place!
Nutty kids!
Got the lad a haircut for School on Monday.
