Spending time with Dad on the Tongariro Crossing

Earlier this week, the girls and I joined my parents (aka Nanny and Poppa) and we zipped down to Taupo for a little holiday. The purpose of this wee trip – besides some much need rest and relaxation – was to take my dad across the Tongariro Alpine Crossing. I’m not going to lie, I was pretty apprehensive about it, being 6 months post-Maia’s birth and my exercise over the past 12 months was up until a month ago, pretty non-existent. I’d done it before, a fair few years ago,but being older, less fit, and post two kids, I knew I was in for some serious muscle pains afterwards – if we even made it through.
