Happy Easter .....

Well it's that time of year again and true to form the Easter Bunny did a fabulous job of depositing a fair amount of chocolate around our garden. The boys were up and about early (a little too early as we had daylight saving last night and our clocks went back!!!) and had great fun on their Easter Egg Treasure Hunt.

Finlay shows us that is very important to clean your teeth well especially after finding lots of chocolate!!!!!

Have a great Easter everyone!!!

Easy riders ...........

Now that I have a new bike that fits me and Ewan is far too big to continue sitting in the child seat on the back of Alan's bike we decided to invest in an extension bar to fit Ewan's bike onto the back of mine. With Finlay sitting behind Alan and Cameron on his own we could all go for a ride together so we set off. There are lots of fabulous bike rides around Christchurch but in the first instance we just headed around the locality, down to the river and back again punctuated by some much need respite in a local coffee shop .... well it would have been rude to pass it by!!!!

After the ride - a very happy boy!!

We look forward to getting out and about much more often, next purchase will be a tow bar and a bike rack so we can go further afield around some of the tracks around town ..........

Cross Country Running

This week was the end of term for Cameron and one of the activities that he participated in with the rest of the school was the Cross Country run on Monday. Both Alan and I went along to watch and were very, very impressed. After starting out with the main pack in the middle of the Year 3 boys we watched as he steadily took over one then another until he got to the front group maintaining 4th place throughout the race. The other 3 boys ahead of him were all older than him and he was the first in his class ....... Well done Cameron ..... maybe some of those Snowsill running genes have been passed down after all!!!

Busy baking .....

Last weekend Cameron had one of his friends, Max, over to play for the afternoon. Last time he came around Alan made some great lizard biscuits with them so the boys were keen to make some more. We all had great fun decorating once they had come out of the oven and below are the finished masterpieces and a very happy Finlay who didn't do much decorating but participated in the eating!!!!
