Yesterday was a big day. A new chapter in the family as Dad married Ali in a lovely ceremony at the beach. Here’s a few photos from the day. I totally enjoyed catching up with old family friends.
Was nice to see all the 4x boys together as well, doesn’t happen to often and great to see the young kids all playing well and just enjoying the chaos.
Was great to see Julie up from CHCH, Clarks, Mounces, Evans, Elmsleys, Wilsons and more from the past.
All the best Dad and Ali!
Last night we took the kids to the Rolleston Fireworks, Here’s a few pics… Livvy thought she’d be scared but was totally fine and really enjoyed it all.
I managed to get both the kids roped into dishing out the lollies on the plane. Proud of Jack for doing it and Livvy was a natural. Good times!
Sarah and the kids took Karolyn and their two for a bush walk the other day up to Kowhai bush. Check out some of the cool photos. They’ve all become pretty good mates!
Here’s a few cool photos we took today. Just love them all, cool kids and a great time!
Sarah was doing a horsey day so I took the kids out to the Groynes for a play and bit of fresh air. They had a blast and just ran around heaps. Was great to see them having fun! They’re cool kids and really love each other!
Quick GoKart project
When we got back, Olivia was asleep in the car, so Jack and I hit the workshop and in an hour or so we knocked up the start of a pretty cool GoKart! It’s just a push one, but it’ll be fun. They picked up a couple of extra wheels for the front from Bunnings today so we’ll finish the front axle tomorrow.
We all went to the Rakaia Gorge today to have a fish. I really wanted to get Jackson started with the spinning rod and also try him on the fly rod.
It turns out he was an excellent caster, and hit the far bank a few times! I also have him a go with the fly rod and he seemed to get the idea.
A few small rises, but they were mostly tiddlers. It was really just a great practice day for Jack to learn his casting.
I think I’ll take him up a real back country river next and see if we can get him into a trout! He’ll love that!
My cool kid…
Check out this wee baby brown trout that gobbled my nymph! it was tiny! Still Jack was happy to see a fish.
Even Livvy got into it with her little rod!
We stayed at Dads place in Auck. Here’s a photo of the kids just hanging out. Great to see them all together!
Check out Olivia the bumblebee. She loved getting dressed up!
Here’s the whole troop! Emily, Abigail, Rowan, Jack and Olivia!
