Marty was struggling to find someone to come to the rugby with him as its a long weekend, but FL Bone had their corporate box free for the staff...what to do but suggest the entire family come along?! So the kids got to finally attend their first rugby game - in total style! Sitting in the corporate box armed with glasses of fizzy and filled rolls and sausage rolls, they really got the best first game experience they could!
They were all so excited to be going,
The girls have been talking about the magpies at school and had been asking us to take them to a game one day. And Luke is just getting into the whole game, loving to check on the scores and tell us who is winning.
When the mayor of Hastings sat down next to Jaimee, it was just the icing on top! I snapped this photo and he turned just as I took it, shame on me for being caught out! He was talking to the kids and I told him it was their first game. Then I told the girls that this was the mayor of Hastings. He told them that they could just call him Laurence! He was lovely and obviously a keen supporter.
The kids just loved the whole game, keenly keeping an eye on things and getting excited with the crowd as things got heated. Luke kept his close rally on the score of course. Kate said the chanting and yelling was a bit loud, but she joined in anyway! By the last few minutes when we suddenly came back from losing the game to a just in time win- well, we were all on our feet yelling and screaming! What an exciting finish! The kids are now so keen on more games so i guess next year we will be back for more. Black, white, alright...come on the bay!!!!
