Wet Times

So this weekend, WE travelled up to buller again. Our friend Linc came up also for some good times

Tara was dreaming something good and wouldnt get up :)


It did snow a little up at Buller but it also rained and was quite swampy :)

It was so swampy that this poor guy couldn't see that well and struggled to stay up on the Tbar


So what better way to spend lunch but at Koorora chilling with Friends
Here is Linc and Chunk quenching their thirst


That night I cooked up a storm and we have another mexi night !!!


If only it was as good as this place, Cafe Rio Im dying to get back to your place and EAT

Two Skateboarding Stars RIP


Not only did he do the moonwalk but here he is cruising a sidewalk, he looks stoked too
RIP MJ


Farrah Fawcett made skateboarding cool on Charlies Angels a long time ago
RIP Farrah
