Jack and Zach, Zookeepers for a day!

Jack, Zach and a pile of kids had a great experience being zookeepers for a day at the Auckland Zoo. They both totally loved it, had a blast!

Our first Hay cut!

     This is our first attempt at doing hay. We got about 260 bales from the back 3 paddocks and it’s filled the hayshed. That’ll keep the horses going for a bit.

A walk among the trees…

Ya’know. Sometimes it’s just a relaxing unwind to just walk around the farm and look at the trees. I find it’s just a lovely way to spend a little time. Walk – breath – relax…

Looks like the kids have been building a wee tree hut on the ground too…

Fun day to end the holiday!

For the last day of the school holiday we all went to Rotorua and did the Luge. Jack and I did the Zipline and we also got a visit in to the Classic car museum! Big day!

We have a tractor!

Thanks to a really fortunate timing of events with a visit to a tractor guy in Morrinsville, we now have a tractor for the block! Just an old crust thing but about 20hp and comes with topper and a bucket! I think we’re slowly becoming farmers!
