Meanwhile back at the Ranch
Guy came to Nelson of course, and although he couldn't come to the wedding he had a great time with friends of the brides family who had a 2 year old boy and 6 year old girl ,a trampoline and several scooters. The day before the wedding Guy's Uncle Edward was in port on the Anatoki have brought a load of fertiliser down from Wanganui. With his regulation visi-vest on, and his own visi-sun-hat Guy went aboard the Anatoki and was very intrigued with the big crane unloading the fertilser, until of course we tried to take his photo whereupon he breaks into his silly face. Back at Ed and Lisa's place after the wedding Guy had a great time building a 'mountain railway' in the rock Garden with his trusty toy trains. He also had a workout on the rowing machine, he had it going well, might be time for the tug boat?
Nelson Wedding
This long Labour weekend we flew to Nelson to celebrate the wedding of Katrina's cousin Sarah. The wedding was beauthiful with a reception in the Boatshed Bar on the Waterfront. A very pleasant place to spend the afternoon, talking with family, eating seafood and sipping cool beverages. Made for nice photos too.

Guy's 1st Swimming Lesson
Guy is going to swimming lessons. He has had two lessons now and apart from a tendancy to get distracted doing his own thing and not listen he has done well, more importantly he has enjoyed them. He explained to me that "they don't really do swimming at this pool, not walking around swimming, just games". They have to wear swim caps, to keep warm although it is indoor and well heated. Lesson one was learning to lie back in the water, 'like you are in bed'. Guy took the instructor literally and happily shut his eyes, very relaxed!
