Totally tired!
Oct. 26th, 2008 09:13 pmFriday we drove the 6 hours (more or less) down to Mackay for the North Australian Titles. It's the first year the little guy is old enough to compete and he's been looking forward to it for the last 2 years at least...
Saturday saw us awake at 5.30 and down at the beach by 6.45 and the LG did well in his first two events; making the finals in both (finals Sunday). Unfortunately there was then a sighting of a crocodile in the area and all the water events were stopped. The LG's other beach event was moved up and he made the final again and got a sixth place. In total we were on the beach for twelve hours!!!!!!
Today, although the decision was made for the water events to go on, most (me among them) didn't allow their children back in the water so it was another 6 hours drive home again.
So we are both very tired tonight and not at all excited that tomorrow is back to school and work again...
