Why we live in Wellington

so we ended up taking the boys down to the river, had a lovely walk along the riverbank, and biffed some stones in the water. Connor asked me "why are you not throwing stones Mum?" and that led to a big discussion about how girls don't really have the huge urge to just endlessly pick up stones and throw them in the water like boys do lol. So to make them happy I threw a few in, but didn't really get the thrill they seemed to be getting. I was just glad to be out in the sun after endless days of rain

We are so lucky to live where we do. We are only 2 mins from the Hutt River, and the Belmont Regional Park is on our doorstep. Craig took the boys up Boulder Hill yesterday, which is a really big hike. From the top you can see in every direction, and yesterday they could even see the South Island and Mana Island.

It's worth the wind to get views like this!
