Walking in a winter wonderland...






Yesterday we decided to head off to Arthurs Pass for a play in the snow...it was like a winter wonderland up there! I have about three hundred photos to prove that point lol! I really wanted to head out so that I could get photos of Danny in the snow and that was accomplished - he loved the stuff and had an absolute ball but like all littlies was tuckered out by the end of it and slept in till eight this morning. We drove as far as the Otira viaduct before turning for home and stopped at the Bealey Pub on the way back for a drink and a bowl of hot chips - we plan on staying there sometime as they have fab motel units that stare straight down the river and you'd never know there was another soul around...but you can walk a few hundred metres and go have a drink and dinner.

LOL you may not want to check in over the next few days as I'll be uploading some of those three hundred photos to here! I've only done my camera so far - got Lyall's one to do yet! And, yep, I've even managed a bit of scrapbooking too - so will upload those photos at some point as well.

Wow, looking at these, no wonder it's been so chilly over the past week!

The second to last photo with Danny as the subject is my favourite. I could see that shot on a calendar.
