Beds and dip bars.....
I finally got around to building the girls a new bed so I could have my 6 inch Plyo box back.

Bacon Bambi Explosion!!!!!!!!!!
Ralph requested a "Bacon Explosion" while he was visiting. So in order to reward his and Val's hard work today painting and laying floor at MaD CrossFit, I came up with a slight twist on the theme when I found venison sausages at the store. See the results below of a Bacon Bambi Explosion! Rated very well with the tasters as a "definitely would eat again, in fact lets have another one for dinner" :-)

Boxing Day
A good boxing day, we only held a 10am class at MaD CrossFit and hit them with the "Filthy Sixties" like a "Filthy 50" but with only 60 seconds work at each exercise.
Box Jumps on Boxing Day and using the new Wallball targets
Val and Ralph joined in for a fast and furious 10 minutes of fun and games. Great effort.
Then it was home to throw more food on the grill as Liz, Craig and Bohdi joined us for lunch.
The girls enjoyed their play date with Bohdi so we left them at home as we headed to Te Papa to check out a Collosal Squid and an exhibition on a day in Pompeii.
Now we are back home catching up on the news and looking forward to a relaxing evening at home.

Kiwi Xmas
Ginger waits in the morning sun to open presents
Ginger enjoys her "Greenie" while Kiwi chews on the new warthog
Kiwi tries out the blanket from Nanny in New England
After making sure we opened everything, the girls are exhausted.
Then off to the beach for a walk before Christmas Dinner
Ham on the BBQ, sweet potato, grilled pineapple and salad!
Followed by a seriously awesome non paleo Christmas Cake made by my Mum :-)
Then we enjoyed a sunny afternoon sampling the best NZ has to offer in beer and wine while play a round each of Scrabble and Cranium. Some interesting words, sculptures and humming eventuated.
.
Thanks to all for their gifts and best wishes. A special thanks to Ralph and Val (Mum) for joining us on our first Kiwi Christmas as a family in New Zealand.

Is it Christmas yet?
Kiwi is not impressed with the approach of Christmas!
I spent the last week in Waiouru, blowing up unexploded ammunition (blinds or duds, depending where you come from in the world). This pic has an 81mm High Explosive Mortar Bomb in the foreground and Mount Ruapehu in the background. Some days the view from my "office" is actually pretty good.
