We found a nice spot on the river for lunch and a swim 
Jack having too much fun in the water and looking cheeky… I think he needs some water pistol action.
“Gotcha Jack! – Take that!”
“Oh No! He’s coming after me!”
I took Sarah and Jack to the Hurunui river for a nice family day out. We all did some fishing, Jack had a swim and it was a great day. Sarah also got a chance to try her new pink fishing rod.
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!
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!
Sarah and Jack having a moment…
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.
The office is coming along well. It’ll look awesome when done in a few weeks! Below is the front of the office, showing the entrance and huge window in my office.
Looking in the front door…
This ‘cube’ is my office. Windows to let good light in.
Laundry, toilet, shower.
Looking towards the kitchen. Bathroom entry is on the right. Window looks out to the back lawn.
Exposed trusses, high ceilings.
Sarah looks very pleased with herself here. Dan the wonderhorse must have been a good boy! This is down at the local horse hangout.
Below, Jack takes a ride on Dan. They’re both groovers!
I took a day off work and took the family to Lake Tekapo for a cruisy day. Lovely weather, and was just nice to hang out. We went to the salmon farm as well, fed the fish and bought some for friends. A lovely day!
We had a lovely surprise with Sarah’s Mum, Uncle Gary and Auntie Judy dropping in with their bus. They just decided to drive down to Christchurch to surprise us! Awesome.
They stayed for a few days and Jackson loved having them here…
One day, before dinner we decided to take the Jet Kayaks down to the Waimakariri Gorge to have a play. Here’s some Photos:
That’s Uncle Gary and us just getting ready…
Taking Jackson for a ride around the river…
The beautiful Sarah and charming Jackson take a moment to smile for the camera!
