Putangirua Pinnacles

Charlie and I had an adventure today to the Putangirua Pinnacles. 

It's been a while since my last visit here, but it was just as awe inspiring and magnificent.

Winter holiday

We just came home from a few days playing in the snow.  We aren't a skiing family, but the kids had a list of things they wanted to do.

  1. Throw a snowball
  2. Make a snowman
  3. Touch a icicle
  4. Ride in a ski lift
  5. Make a snow angel
  6. Eat snow

All the above have been checked off.
