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. 
Christmas day at the Stones was pretty cruisy. Jack got a heap of prezzies, we had a nice breakfast, lunch at the Vivs, afternoon at Leslies and dinner at the Hodges! Missed the Auckland family but still a nice day.
Jack’s huge stash of goodies!
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…
This is Emily having a ride on Pinto the wonderpony. Both rider and pony came out unscathed…
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!
My clever lad can now read this book from cover to cover – pretty awesome eh! Have to get him groomed for the office soon!
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!
