Mimiwhangata Bay



This image is three photo's stitched together (using a software programme that came with the Camera), so it looks a bit fish-eye (looks better if you double click on it and it enlarges).

This is the outlook from the campsite, and it was like this for 10 days in a row while we were there.
The white boat in the Bay is Greg's, went fishing, sightseeing and dragged the kids around on the sea-biscuits, which they loved...

Receiving his Yellow Breakers Shirt


Note his brand new New Balance shoes...resolution not great on this photo

Alex at the Free Throw Line


Note that Alex is in a shaft of light straight from the heavens...

Note that the Basketball is a Molten, the official ball of the Australian National Basketball League (which is the one that the Breakers play in - the Breakers are the equivalent of the NZ Warriors in the glorious NRL in Australia). :-)

Alex at the Breakers Kids 3 Day Clinic


Alex has just completed a 3 day Clinic with the NZ breakers, over on the Shore, and loved it!
He learned basketball skills, played games, watched the Breakers train, got autographs and heaps of free stuff. Here are some images from the event - The yellow t shirt is the one he won for being in the best team - they won 10-6 in the final for the 9-10 year olds, plus the free basketball (signed) wrist sweatbands, and the blue t shirt we brought for him also signed by the team, and the cap, signed by Kirk Penny and Phil Jones (2 of the NZ stars playing for the Breakers).
