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!
We popped up to Kowhai Bush the other day with Si and Jane. Simon and I taught the kids how to build a dam! Retro fun times hey!
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)…

I’ve put some photos below from our recent trip to Australia (Brisbane/Gold Coast). We popped over for the week to see Sarah’s sister Jess, Lee and Mel, Leeanne and do the fun parks!
The kids were all great and a great time was had by all!

Saying goodbye…
Next trip – Fiji!!
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!
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! 😉
Here’s a few pics of the new office I’ve just setup in Auckland for our software co. Looking pretty swish!
Jackson totally loves his sister…
