All Together.






















Xmas day having a few drinks - as you do! Mellowing out and catching up. Carol and Alan. Our youngest Toomey Ben having a bit of a cuddle. The blondie is Moniques youngest Samuel. Me with Daisy Mark and Merries wee dog, just the coolest. a few shots of Carol and Alans new place in Cambridge. The kids pitched tents for a few days.

Crazy Santa











That time of year for Alan (Antons Dad) to launch into Father Xmas. It was a good day with all the cousins together, first time in a long time. Alas poor Nyah did not get the pony she has been waiting years for.....maybe one day.

The Fear Factor Challenge!



























The kids got into the Fear Factor Xmas Challenge. It was alot of fun and laughs!
Flour mixed with salt and marshmellows. Spaghettie and worms!(lollies). Raw mussles dipped in something I cant remember.

Rangitikei River Ride







Anton hired some kayaks from base and took Connor for a 3hr ride down the river and they ended up in Bulls. They were knackered when they got in a perfect day for it though and no doubt they will be off again before the holidays are over. They go past a friends farm that backs onto the river and thought about camping there next time. There were some small rapids to ride to make it a bit exciting. I am sure he will get a few that want to go!

Bulls Parade







Getting the school float together for the parade. It was alot of fun and the kid had a good time. Yep thats me giving the peace sign above the purple L, cool day out! It was a huge float, we could of had a dance party on it, maybe next year.

Out and About.




Took the kids to the pools in Palmerston North for the day, it was all part of Sheas birthday. Thats her in mid air. Then we all went out for lunch. Hot as and a good day.
