The Dragon's Touch Rugby Team. In Year 2 Josh was lucky enough to have Mr A (Simon Adkins) as his teacher. His dedication, energy and enthusiasm puts me to shame. In his spare time he coached two touch teams (as all of the children wanted to take part) and spent many of his lunch hours playing "scrag" with the children (rugby without rules from what Josh described). The photo above is after a game in 40+ deg heat. Below shows that even the best can loose control of our little darlings. The opportunity to take a group photo lasted about 10 seconds, if that.
In March (2008) Nicholas had his training wheels taken off his bike. He rode it first time without any help. Our clever wee monkey was only 3 years and 3 months old!!! He has had some amazing spills off his bike since then (speed demon), and each time he gets back on without a "melt down". In April we started to take him on the mountain bike track through Burwood Plantation. The first time he managed to spin out on the gravel; hit every tree and tree stump possible (scary thought in a plantation!!); and career off the track at the top of a hill. He was quite apprehensive about going into the forest again, but the second time he applied everything he learnt and is a born natural.
Julia waiting for her first load of heavy cement. I finished the day with arms that were a few inches longer!!
James and I poured the concrete, while Poppa Bruce did his thing with the trowel, and Nanna Jan had the pleasure of taking Josh to his swimming lesson and keeping two intrigued boys out of the wet cement and mud.
