This photo encapsulates the first day of the year. I took the kids to stay with my parents (their grandparents) for New Year. My parents live over 300km away, in the country, so my children don't see them that often. When they visit they like to experience everything rural life has to offer. One of my brothers lives there with his two sons and his partner. Another was visiting with his family.
In the afternoon of the 1st, we took the children down to the river. We threw the net out to catch some fish and relaxed while the children had a mud/water fight on the river bank and in the water.
This is my son, aged 14. It's rare to get a photo with a genuine smile these days, or one of him outdoors for that matter! The grandchildren present ranged in age from 14-9. Seeing him, smothered in mud, smiling hugely and laughing was the perfect start to the New Year.
