Yesterday we got back from a week in Arrowtown, near Queenstown. We had such a fantastic time and it was over all too soon! The weather was amazing - clear blue skies and still every day. Very cold and frosty in the mornings, but by once the sun was up it warmed up quite a bit. We stayed at a friend's holiday house, so had lots of room,a big lawn for the boys to run around on and a spa pool which was great! We spent most of our time in Arrowtown or Queenstown, and went to the snow a couple of days (unfortunately didn't get any skiing done, but maybe when the boys are a bit older!). Connor loved the snow, I think Byron found it a bit frustrating as he was so bundled up with gloves, boots and glasses that he couldn't really do a lot. Here are a few photos from the week...

On the Gondola from the top of the mountain. We all went on the luge at the top, which was awesome










One of the boys favourite activites was playing by the river, which was right next to the house we were staying in. They loved throwing stones and playing with sticks, it kept them busy for hours.
