Sams first walk

Of course its not like we were wondering when he was going to walk....Sam is a very considered and cautious boy but once he decided he was going to talk there was no holding him back!!! He went from moving around furniture to full scale walking.

Golden Bay

Went went on holiday with Fa Fa (AKA John) down to Golden Bay - Ligar Bay. What a fantastic spot, golden sand and warm water you cant go wrong. We were just close enough to civilisation to allow for our daily fix of coffee (how sad is that). It was fantastic to catch up with friends, Sparkie, Mary and her wee man Jack. Also excellent to finally get up "The Hill" and see the view from the Jones' family empire.

Splore 2008

Splore is a Music Festival located in Tepapakanga in the Firth of Thames. It is great spot. You dance looking over the water with Mountains as your back drop. It really is a primo spot. We went for the weekend with a great group of friends and basically had a lot of fun. Here are a few pics which show what its like.
