Hikinng at Turoa

   I love it when you get the chance for a great country family shot! These were from the quick work trip we just did to Ohakune this week. We managed to see the snow, had a hike and ended up at DeBretts hot pools in Taupo. Gad a great trip!

Fun day to end the holiday!

For the last day of the school holiday we all went to Rotorua and did the Luge. Jack and I did the Zipline and we also got a visit in to the Classic car museum! Big day!

Jack and Dad in Auckland

Jack the muscleman climbing Mt Wellington… He’s looking strong and happy. Love it! We were up for the ProWorkflow Christmas party and the rock climbing was a blast. We followed that up with a slap up meal at Casablanca (Mediterranean food).

Jack’s 9th Birthday Bash

What a weekend! Jack had a two day birthday party as it also a bit of a going away thing… Good fun with the kids. i-Devices, Laser Strike, Nerf Gun wars, sleepover and a couple of movies and we rented the gym so all the mates and trampolining buddies could play hard out… Even Sarah and I hit the trampolines!

On the way home we had an extreme hailstorm that made it pretty dangerous on the road. Overall it was a packed few days for the kids!

We’ll have to have the mates up to stay for holidays… Anyway, my boy is getting big, super proud of him and can’t wait to see what sort of a man he becomes (but would prefer he stayed small)  😉

Some pics from our basic training night at the Snow Xchange. Jack and Dad went there tonight to play on the tramps, ramps and foam pits.

Dad’s new project…

Yup! I got the itch again… Those who knew me in the earlier days will understand I’ve had and done a few classics… This is the new project. No great rush, just going to chip away at it. Not hotrodding it, just going to turn into a patina’d daly driver. Plan to have this for a few years…

It’s a 1954 Ford F100 pickup. From California originally, left hand drive. Motor is a Y-Block 272 V8, has 4 barrel holly carb. Plenty of bits missing but I’ll sort that.

Jack Flyfishing with Dad

Time for another adventure! I got Jackson up at 4:30am and drove up to the Glenariffe Stream, up in the Canterbury backcountry. We had a great day, he’s casting really well and he also hooked a nice brown trout. He’s a great lad, no complaints, and is a natural caster. Love him…
