Hannah was obviously inspired by her big brother doing so well in the triathlon. It took her 20 minutes to learn how to ride her bike down in the playground of Mapua School. Well Done.

Mapua School held their Triathlon last week . Ben and Hannah both enjoyed their events and did extremely well.
Hannah came 4th after an excellent swim, catching up and overtaking many of her friends in the pool.
Ben did extremely well too. He came 3rd and received a certificate.
His contribution helped the red team win overall. (Both Ben and Hannah are in the red team) . Well Done both of you. We are very proud.

We visited the local Mapua Aquarium “Touch the Sea”. This place is always a hit with our children, who love to put their hands into the touch pools and feel all the various underwater creepy crawlies!!
The sting rays in the main tank are fascinating to watch especially at feeding time. The feeder almost puts his fingers in the rays mouth!!

An exciting game of rugby in Motueka. The atmosphere was incredible and being so close to the players and the try line – fantastic. Even Hannah enjoyed watching the dancing girls in the breaks.

Andy and Ben took the Brass family on a cycle trip from our chalets to Neudorf Winery. Hannah and Karen met them there with a picnic. The beautiful setting was the perfect place to do some local wine tasting.

a long awaited day with our friends the Decks was a day to remember. Great friends – great weather -great day out.
Our blog is where we chronicle our family adventures, with friends and clients too. Surrounded as we are with Mountains, Forests, Rivers and Sea, we need to get out there more often, and when we do, we'll share it here. Enjoy the ride.
