Mummy's at Cubs

It is almost Mother's Day so we are had a special Mother's Night at cubs.  All the mums were invited to come along if they could, to share in the fun.  Mum had training so she wasn't there at the start of the night so she missed out on being a real mummy.  I don't think that she was too upset, AJ volunteered to be a mummy instead!

AJ is a mummy

Luckily mum made it to cubs for the most of the fun and games.  Most importantly, she was there for the most important part, I was asked to be the Seconder for my Six and had to lower the flag at the end of the night.  

Important Cub duty

I was glad mum was able to share such an important time in my Cub career.

Sundays in my City #4 - Soccer Sunday

Win Lose or Draw, whenever we play soccer we always finish up doing the same thing.

First we thank all the players in the other team...

High 5s All Round

Then we say three cheers for them, and for the ref too...

Hip Hip Hooray

Then we sing our team song...

Yep, the loudest on the team!

It is a great way to start a Sunday.

When the Queen came to Town

Did you see the Queen when she was in town?  We did.  We figured it was a nice night to go out and have some fun and what better place to have some fun other than at the beach right?

The queen was much bigger than I imagined!

We wanted to stick around until the Queen left so we filled in time the best way we know how - having fun!

Goodbye Queen Mary, I hope to visit with you another time.

Buggy - May the 4th be with you!

Today is the 4th of May, Star Wars Day and I would like you to meet Buggy.

May the 4th be with you :-)

Sunday in my City #3 - Climbing Mountains

We are joining in with Unknown Mami and Sunday in our City again and this time we are actually showing you what we did today.

Milla had soccer and it was an away game, far far away, out in the country.

Milla is #23

The best part of going all the way to the country for soccer is that we had a chance to catch up with grandma for lunch and then we went hiking.  Mum goes hiking out here all the time and today was the first chance that we had to climb Mt Macedon with her and some of her trekking friends.  It was a great walk, about 7km all up, we hope we can go hiking together again soon.

Family adventures are fun :-)

Now I know we complained that we had to go all the way out to the country for our adventures, but really it was only an hours drive away from where we live and we had great fun.  It is great exploring the countryside but we always love coming back home to Melbourne!

Another ANZAC Tradition

I know that there are lots of different traditions that help us to remember the sacrifice that the ANZACs made for all of us.  Today I learnt of a different tradition that is associated with the ANZACs, it is called 2 Up.  Now you would think that since I spent my early morning hanging out at the RSL that would be the place to learn all about 2 Up but it wasn't.

Guess where I learnt all about 2 Up?  At ice hockey.  Now I know you are probably thinking that I am way too young to gamble, but don't worry, we were playing 2 Up as a fun game, not gambling.  See instead of coins, we used hockey pucks.  Everyone had to guess if they were going to land as both heads (both hands in the air), both tails (hands on bums) or one of each.

I generally bet 'odds' - one head and one tail

The pucks were balanced on the end of a hockey stick by Liam (he's the teacher) and then tossed high into the air.  There was no money to win but if you didn't guess right, you had to skate to the other end of the rink and back before you could play again.

Come in Spinner!

It was a pretty simple game and it was easy to see just how much fun everyone could have when the only equipment, other than what we were wearing, was 2 hockey pucks!

Dawn Service

I could say we were up bright and early this morning but it wasn't really bright, it was still dark, it was cold and it was raining.  I was still tired but I got up anyway, I had something important to do; I was going to the Flemington/Kensington RSL to march in the parade and be there for the dawn service.

Even though it was cold and wet, there were still hundreds of people gathered to pay their respects to the diggers who gave their lives to keep our beautiful country free.

Most people don't think that 8 year olds know much but I can tell you that all of the hard work of service men and women all around the world keeps us all safe.

Thank you ANZACs,
Love Princess George
