Raj and I shouted the team to McDonalds. No real reason other than we hadn’t done it before. I’d hoped we would win the game, but we played pretty lousy really. Nevertheless, the kids had fun and enjoyed the meal!

Evan got player of the game today! He had some good plays including bowling one of the other team out and making 24 runs in 5 overs at bat. Really impressive – normally he’ll bat 15 or so on a good day. Close to Connah’s 30 runs!

The kids had a swim meet on the weekend and did awesome! Evan came first in each of his heats (freestyle and backstroke) and got first in the final for backstroke! Evan was very chuffed! Evan had a goggle malfunction in the freestyle final, which meant that people who he beat in the heat, beat […]

Yesterday Evan’s rugby team went to paintball because they won the $1000 for selling the most number of raffle tickets. The kids had a great time. I also got to play and it was great fun. Afterwards we went to Rob’s house for a barbeque. What a beautiful house it is!!! Very cool.

Evan joined the Shellypark kapa haka event today to do some traditional Maori dancing. I think he quite enjoyed it. Quite cool seeing Handro leading the haka. I wonder if he will some day for the All Blacks! Evan quite enjoyed himself and this year he felt comfortable enough to be without a shirt. I […]
