Mood:
a-okI haven't written much on this blog outside of Saturday mornings. Time is a little short with school and activities, so about once a week is all I've got to hammer some of this out.
That being said, we had a really good day today, and this week is going to be full enough, so I thought I'd throw this week-end into the blog.
It all started on Friday afternoon with Jacoby's hockey team having a BBQ. We met the rest of the team and several of the parents and jusst generally had a good time.
Saturday was a quiet day, but we did go to the Tradies Club for a buffet lunch that was fantastic.
Today, we drove out to Corin Forest Park. It's supposed to be a really nice area for both summer and winter fun. Today, we went up to see the area and ride their Alpine Slide, made by the same people that made the ones we rode in Germany. All things told, the slide was great! We each did it twice.
After the slides, we went out to the Gibralter Falls and had a picnic lunch under one of the best views I've seen in quite some time. After the lunch, we headed out to Tidbinbilla and walked a few trails and then came home.
Tonight ended with dinner in the Greek Club and a few episodes of West Wing.
Tomorrow we are going to a Rugby game between my school team and the Parliamentarians. It'll be played out in Duntroon, which is their West Point. About 22 members of Parliament will be at the game, as well as the Chief of the Defence Force (think Secretary of Defense), who will be playing for our team...It'll be fun to watch.
This coming week will see the start of Jacoby's hockey season with the first practice and the first game. In addition, Jacoby goes to "outdoor education camp" with the school house from Wednesday to Friday. I think it sounds like a LOT of fun. He isn't so sure.
