When in Auckland, we popped in to see Gran and Poppa. They love the kids and the kids had a blast. We totally love these guys!

I took the family out for a cruisy day on the water. It was such a great day it was glassy conditions most of the time! We went around Waiheke, then ducked across the Happy Jack’s Island in the Coromandel. We saw workups, Dolphins, Penguins and got enough snapper for a good feed for dinner!
Jack can now bait his hooks himself and Livvy finally got her sealegs and now loves it!










We took the family out today for a wee adventure. First stop was the Orton Bradley Park where we went for a nice tramp. The kids did well…
Then we went to Diamond Harbour Wharf for a spot of fishing and Jack had a swim, well actually a jump off the wharf from a swinging gantry rope. Great fun! See the vids below!
















Sarah took the kids to the Groynes for a play on the water. Check out Jack’s smile! He’s loving it! I reckon he’s going to get into kayaking – he’d be great!






Here’s a snippet from the Stonecrew mucking around up the road. Jack’s just learnt to snorkle and Livvy is slowly getting the hang of swimming… Note that Livvie jumps up and bites me at one point!
We took a drive over to Sumner Beach today to let the kids get some fresh air. Had a good time, here’s a few pics from the day. The kids loved it.







Here’s a pile of photos from the Stone family Christmas 2013! It was an epic bash and total chaos for a week but in a good way! We had the best time – love them all!
















Just a couple of lovely shots. Here’s my two best girls…

And Sarah at Equitana with Carl Hester, the Olympic rider!

The Stone crew popped up to Auckland this week to see the Auckland family. I’ll post a few updates, but here’s a few pics from a nice day out on the water today. We went to Waiheke, Matiatia, Rangitoto and Mototapu. They all loved it. Livvy was a little nervous of the speed but got the hang of it in the end.
Olivia’s “Now you see me…” magic…


The Karangahake footbridge…


Jack at Waihi mine. What a huge hole in the ground!

Say no more…

The kids love their gran…

If you ever wondered what a pack of prize nut bars looks like, here’s a good example:

Livvy having a bit of fun at Grant and Liz’s place.

Some quiet time with Grandad.

We took the kids for a trip to the Auckland Museum. They had a ball, but Livvy was pretty tired. Still was quite an impressive place to visit.





And who’s the big kid at Mac D’s playground?


It was a pretty rough flight home but we got there in the end!
