These are the Stone family kids…

Auntie Judy and Uncle Gary (Dudy & Hammerman)…

Gran and Poppa…

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

I had some time to kill in Auckland while waiting for a flight so took Jackson to Butterfly Creek to check out the animals. Heaps of fun!

Sarah, Jackson and I recently hooked up the boat and went on a holiday to the Marlborough Sounds and Lake Rotoiti. Here’s a few photos from the trip. It was great fun and we just relaxed for the first time in ages.

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.
