Jack and I spent a few days at the Dobbs in Hamilton on their farm. We also visited their Tugboat! Here’s the photos…

Just a nice photo of the Opihi Gorge. I went flyfishing with Stu Clark for the day. Saw a few trout, caught none, but had a great day!

We had Christmas lunch at the Viv’s this year. Was a great time, good company, good food and the kids had a blast! Here’s Jack showing Ella how to use the Slip-n-Slide!

Ella riding her new purple bike! I think she really likes it. Shouldn’t take too long to get the hang of it.

Grace being cute as usual 

He’s speechless! Not often that happens!

Ella being a perfect gem!

I spent Friday fishing the Opihi river with Karl, an industry mate and another creative. Was a great day, we saw a large number of fish. Karl landed a few and I had plenty chase the fly. The water was crystal clear and very little wind. I need to do this more often!

As a parent, this has to be the best – seeing kids sleeping! This is Jack taking a nap with mum and Devoe (his cousin) out like a light.

This is Jack’s first fish! Good job buddy! Look at the rod bending over – man, must be an absolute whale! Giant Kingfish perhaps!

Well, not a monster, but I’m still really proud!!

Si and Zach hanging on the boat!

The ‘boys’ took a fishing trip to the Great Barrier Island for Ben’s birthday. Was a great trip and relaxing time with the mates… Great weather, fish to eat and good company. This is Gavin’s dad’s boat.
