This blog will be big on pics as my facebook seizes up when I try to upload pics, but blogger uploads without a problem.
I was looking forward to this weekend for awhile as the East ward youth from Launceston were coming up for a temple trip and Aaron was coming up with them as a leader. I picked Aaron up friday night and dropped him off at the temple accomodation and I grabbed a football ticket they had got for me as they were all going to watch the Swans vs the Cats at Homebush Saturday night.
After playing and winning footy by over 100 points, I went home and showered and found out where they all were and drove down to Bi-Centennial park at Homebush as they had all been to DFO shopping and then went over to the park to eat. I had only been to the park for work late at night, so it was nice to see how nice it was during the day.
We filled in sometime by kicking the footy around before we walked over to the stadium.
Aaron was funny, one minute he was fooling around and the next he was a real serious teacher getting everyone to listen to what was going to happen, it was funny to see, especially the comment by one young lady about him having two personalities. haha
The pre game entertainment were by some Abba wannabes
This poor boy was wishing he was at the crows vs hawks game at the G on friday night
There were a few people at the game for the first time ever, Adam thought it was great and said he didnt realise how good it was to be at the game.
Tayla was estatic with the result as she was going for the cats as her granddad or uncle Jim follows the cats and so she had a scarfe for them.
Just before heading to the airport they all headed up to the temple for some photos and a little meeting, I'm sure you'll all be filled in and many more pics to come from people on the trip.
You couldn't ask for better weather, very nice and sunny and a warm 27 outside today, just glorious, hope your enjoying the rain down home.

Looks like a fun weekend. Great photos. Send Spring!
Wow Chrish - you were FAST!! Looks like so much fun. I wish I could've come too. They were all very excited and tired at the airport. Lots of hugs all round - sounds like an awesome weekend, glad you could spend some time with them.
They were great photos, Thanks Chrish!
Cool blog Chrish!
It was heaps of fun hey! :D
Some pretty awesome pictures here, I took some ;) haha.
Sounds like there was alot of footy for one weekend, a bit of backyard stuff... to your comp (congratulations by the way) and then to the big guns at the stadium. I'm sure it would have been fun to go with a big group, not to mention energetic youth. I'm not a football person but it was fun to go to a match, Eden took us once when they still lived here (Maybe he thought that would compensate for taking my sister away a little while later). Anyway so the girl behind us and her screaming.. the whole time I thought she was calling out to Scott 'Go Scotty' (give it up already, right!) But it all made sense by the end... We were at a swans game, 'GO Swannies'.
So we are well thanks, Chase and I had a bit of a virus of the weekend, his first tummy bug... But both much better now. The personal blog was just seeing how it worked, but we are back to public view. Sorry, you are always welcome to have a look, I'm not very good at blogging but hopefully I'll learn the art and become more efficient soon. I'm glad you had a nice weekend and tat you got the chance to blog somehow around that crazy work schedule you keep! Hope all is well and we hope to see you soon! Take care...
Sorry, I didn't realise it was so long...
OH you make me homesick for the Temple (not that i ever lived in Sydney) the blossom and the flowere ...i always think of gardenias when i think of the Sydney Temple ..the fragrance of those flowers ...mmmmm....i just want to go back again...what a great host you were for the YM and YW ...the footy looked great too(not that i like footy mind you..not a fan of any of the teams...sorry)
Nettie, lucky for them I wasn't the host, they had their trip all planned out and I just tagged along, so I could spend some time with Aaron, so I should say thankyou to all the leaders who had the youth up
