Holiday in Hanmer!

Here’s some photos from our holiday in Hanmer Springs. We went up there for a few days to have a break from CHCH. Had a great time! We were with Rich, Aimee and Nim Poole. They’re pretty cruisy guys to hang with and we managed to do a few fun things. Played in the snow, café’s, bike riding, walks, Indian food and movies.

My personal hilight was convincing Sarah to take a dip (in the snow) at the Hanmer Springs hot pools one night. We just soaked in 37 degree awesomeness until we turned into prunes.

Here’s Jack thinking about throwing a snowball at Rich!

The family climbing a wee bank… Jack slipped down soon after the photo was taken. He loved it though.

I took my boy for an adventure on his bmx and my bike down to the local river. There was a track beside the creek which was pretty muddy so we had a blast of a time. Wore him out nicely!

This is the view from the bach.

We had a pretty hairy drive back from Hanmer. The roads were fairly treacherous but we all got back ok. When we got back though, we were greeted with a totally white Christchurch and even our place was covered!

To end off a great weekend Jack and I made snowmen… Cool eh!

Bouncy Baby Olivia!

We got Olivia a Jolly Jumper off Trademe today. She took to it straight away and loved it so much that she threw a tantrum when we got her off !

Jack being a hoon!

Livvy the bubble queen!

One thing I know about my girl is that she definitely loves her baths! We had a slight ‘bubble overdose’ tonight but she wasn’t complaining!
