At our Mangawhai ngahere in October

With all our good intentions of getting up north more often kind of went by the wayside as our lives got busier and busier the closer we got to the end of the year. The last time we were up at the property was mid October...which seems like so long ago now. It was a significant visit for us because we had our Ferguson tractor there waiting for us. It got delivered right before we went to Vietnam, so it was something we were looking forward to on our return.











I've got a bunch of snippet videos of us driving around on the thing, and Jef pulling logs down the hill. When I get a chance to edit I'll post them.

We had such amazing weather that weekend. It was sunny and hot, just the way the start of summer should be. We went to the local butcher and got some lovely things to stick on the BBQ. Kien practiced his campfire making skills.







We went to the beach and hung out there for a while. There was hardly anyone around. It was still very chilly but that didn't stop Kien from going in.



















So many good times to be had up there. Really looking forward to heading up there again.
