Budding Brumbies

Each year the Brumbies organise a 'Budding Brumbies' rugby session over four weeks. It's really well organised and Eli has been going for a few years (I think Amy took him originally).

This year the course culminated at Brumbies HQ and the kids were trained by the Brumbies first team squad and had a chance to have their picture taken with the squad afterwards. It's such a lovely atmosphere there and Eli absolutely loves it.

Merry Beach Camping Trip

We had a lovely long weekend of camping at Merry Beach on the NSW South Coast. The weather was just about perfect (apart from a bit of wind which picked up on Friday night.

Merry Beach is beautiful and we camped right on the edge of the beach. The kangaroos there are always very brave/tame and hopped along at dinner time to see what everyone was eating. We had fun flying our rocket, a cliff walk and a mini golf tournament (Audrey fared best of all of us).

Audrey's class

Audrey's class had to write their name on a piece of paper and then circulate it around the class and their classmates were invited to write what they thought of that person. I haven't found out yet whether the project was censored (i.e. nothing nasty!) but I was so chuffed to see some of the things her friends had written about her (accepting that the spelling is a bit dodgy!). I'll have to chat to her teacher to understand some of the context of it (as it sounds like it was potentially a pretty risky exercise!).
