Hi All,
\nSome updated pics from NZ. \u00c2\u00a0The boys are in surfing lessons every Sunday for 5 weeks and so far it’s been a great success. \u00c2\u00a0All are well and we’re having a great time. \u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Love to you all.
\nSarah<\/p>\n

\nThis is Sumner, the village where we are living. \u00c2\u00a0It’s about a 20 min drive to downtown Christchurch and is a great spot to live.
\nOur house is a block in from the water to the right of the picture. \u00c2\u00a0The hills in the distance are the Kaikoura Ranges.<\/p>\n

\nThe Lyttleton farmers market. \u00c2\u00a0The boys got dairy and nut free banana chocolate dip ice cream cones. \u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nThey were delicious… obviously. \u00c2\u00a0The “ice cream” was actually frozen banana. \u00c2\u00a0Brilliant.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nThe boys first surf lesson. \u00c2\u00a0Getting the basics before putting them to the test in the water.<\/p>\n

\"unknown4.jpg\"
\nPracticing some of those basic moves!<\/p>\n

\nThe board was a little big for Will but it worked out well for him.<\/p>\n

\nJackson was standing his first try out. \u00c2\u00a0We were cheering like crazy from the beach. \u00c2\u00a0In total we took about 500 pictures during their two hour lesson.<\/p>\n

A great shot of Jackson. \u00c2\u00a0He’s a natural.<\/p>\n

\nWill was able to master standing by the end of the first lesson.<\/p>\n

\"unknown11.jpg\"
\nWill would fall in a flurry of legs and arms, get up smiling and head back out into the surf.<\/p>\n

\nSurfer Will.

\nSurfer Jackson.<\/p>\n

\nLook at the focus and determination. \u00c2\u00a0It was fabulous.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
