Easter Sunday 2014

Today, was another busy day. It was an early start, as we were heading to the football and had to visit someone prior to getting on the football train.

It was a good game of football, especially as the team we were supporting won.

Then, being Easter and never a dull moment, Akela took us out to tea – at her parents place. It seems to be the place to do some dealing in chocolate! Akela sure knows how to score! We made her take a photo of us with the chocolate, just to prove it was a good haul. She is definitely going to need to get to the Gym to work this all off!

October Long Weekend - Slowdown Football game

Today, Wilbur went to watch the SA vs Vic Slowdown at Adelaide Oval. The game is a fun game for charity (the Little Heros Foundation) which raises money for sick children at the Women and Childrens Hospital here in Adelaide. The game is generally held on the October  long weekend and charge is $5 per person to get in. The teams are generally the two local AFL teams (Adelaide Crows and Port Power) but on occasions, has been a interstate affair (SA vs Vic) and where previous (retired) AFL players pull on the respective colours and play a game of football.  It always attracts a crowd and the money goes to a good charity. The foundation, Little Heroes Foundation can be found at the following link www.littleheroesfoundation.com.au

This year, with the Victorians on board (the last time was 2004), it was a joint fundraiser between the Little Heroes Foundation (set up by Chris McDermott and Tony McGuiness) and Reach Foundation (a youth charity set up Jim Styles – a former Melbourne player and current president who is battling cancer).

It was a good day, and yes – South Australia won, by a point. Money was raised for a charity and it was just a generally relaxing way to spend a labor day long weekend.
