This weekends mission was to trench about 250m around all the paddocks, lay pipe and sort the connections ready for the troughs later this week. So we can have water, taps and hoses to all the paddocks! We hired a trencher from Hirequip and went hard! All done!!! Two days in the baking sun but it’s all worth the effort!
Just had a nice day on the water with Dad. Mostly we caught tiddlers, but was still a great day with heaps of sun! We went around Waiheke and tried everything, but mostly just small fish today. It was such a nice day though that we didn’t mind. I made Dad a cuppa over by the muscle farms.

Dad having fun in the sun…
Here’s a tiny fella! Lots of these today!
And nice Kahawhai for dinner!
I went for a quick 10km ride at McLeans Island tonight. Just an easy 10km to dust the cobwebs off my fitness…
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!
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!
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!
We took the family to the Weka Pass steam train trip from Glenmark to Waikari today. Aimee, Rich and Nim joined us and it was a blast. Perfect weather, lovely views and pretty well behaved kids!
We took the kids to New Brighton today to get their feet wet. It was Olivia’s first time playing on the sand and she loved it. Jack was just a happy goose!
Jack and I whipped up this little invention in the workshop tonight. It’s a locked ‘Coconut Safe’ to hide his robot ‘Hinge Dog’. I think we may be onto a whole new line of toys!
Here’s a pile of pics from the recent fishing trip I did with the boys to Northland and the Bay of Islands. We took a whole week off and spent it with the lads just relaxing and fishing. We have the best wives!
On the trip were Gavin, Wess, Grant and Frank… Caught plenty of fish and heaps of sunshine!
