Winter Holidays- Skiing and more

Ok I am catching up, here is July and our winter holidays, I know to all of you in England July and Winter just don't go together [or maybe they do?]
Fantastic trip to the snow with a stop in Kaikoura, where all seal pups were in abundance, amazing could just pull up along the road and watch




The Ohau Stream and Waterfall walk, is on the way, and 15mins to this waterfall is where all the pups go to learn how to swim, and play, No Parents allowed and over 100 pups having the time of their lives.

Snow time........Mt Hutt, first day abit cloudy, rainy
2nd day was amazing, clay took to snow like duck to water........
Tegan opted for playtime rather then ski time......
Clay after being down the beginners slope
Mr Snowboard man.....with a hat that he bought at a local garage on the way, as you can see he is very pleased with himself
still playtime in the snow
The drive from the mountain on the way down
Thermal hot springs afterwards.....

A walk in Hamner Springs which we visited on the way back to Nelson


the Drive to Nelson through Lewis pass, a few stops on the way to help with the car sickness and play in the snow



The pointy Mountain that Haydn was determined to get a photo of, even though you can't really see it.
