Rugby weekend


Kara, Maggie, myself and Liti with our new rugby jerseys to support the Island Breeze boys
Travelled with the Island Breeze team to Bryon Bay this weekend. Tournament started on Saturday with a full day of games (only lost one) and then finished up on Sunday (we lost in the semi-finals). Our boys played well for the most part, better on Sunday than Saturday. We stayed in a church- all on the floor but no one seems to mind. It was good fellowship. I tend to get nervous now watching rugby. Its easier for me to watch a game with no one I know, because then I just enjoy the good plays. But with the boys I know I get worried they are going to get hurt. Rugby is tough man. I see american football in a whole new light.
I did get to the most eastern point, near the light house. It was closed so we stood and looked at the shoreline and beach. Sometimes I forget Australia is actually a HUGE island! I also snuck away Sunday morning before the first match and spent some time on the beach. Very touristy area but also fun. Was a good weekend to make new friends, and support our boys with something they are passionate about.
