Friday 7th to Sunday 9th September.....
(Firstly - we made the kids some T-Shirts as we're unable to get club shirts small enough for them... we just made our own!)
Then we needed to make a club banner to hang at the entrance to the property so that people knew where they were going.....
I can't remember exactly how big this banner was... but it was REALLY big....
The difference in size between Rob's boot and Blake's boot is huge!
We went to the Lowmead Pub for dinner... it was a really great night (and cheap meals too!)
Now, into the camping and actual weekend side of things!
Mom enjoying a bit of relaxing time....
(who am I kidding - it's all relaxing once you're retired... right? ;) )
Grotty little cupcake man!
Butter wouldn't melt.....
Not a good sign when the bike wont start!
(This is Jade's new bike - we changed the plastics on it from the original Gas Gas red plastics - as she wanted the blue set on there...)
All set up....
A Wobz who could do with a shower....
Drew
The bikes are starting to appear....
And the kids are attached to their electronic babysitters....
Cuddles for Daddy....
How can something so dirty still look so swet???
A family of Boots....
Family Shot
Puggle ready to ride off....
Jade just waiting on her bike to go and then she'll be off too....
Rob even geared up....
Jade got to ride pillion as her bike wasn't going....
and Blake's off!
Drew Mechanic Extraordinare
and still no luck.....
The Kids Comp!
Jade had to ride Blake's bike as her bike was still not going..... a slight difference from the size she was when she first got the bike!
(July 2008 - 2yrs9months)
Ok, so back to 2013....
Blake found it very hard to remember where he had to ride next... he'd ride and stop and wait for instructions... so we ended up walking through the section ahead of him to try to get him through....
Such a BIG log.. (ok, maybe a stick... but it was enough....)
and we're on our way down!
and... DOWN...
But straight back onto the bike and ready to go again....
he never gave up... no matter how many times he went down....
Jade was doing really well, she'd been happily riding the sections... and then some big bikes came through and rode through the section - then they stayed around to watch... and Jade's not big on audiences... so she got a bit sad....
and had a bit of a sulk.....
Drew fixed that!
And then they were done!
One very happy little biker!
and time for a refreshing break!
(I have never seen him drink a complete 600ml water this quickly before... he was thirsty!)
Drew's Pics
Then it was Drew's turn to bring out toys to play with......
(yup... he's not about to start growing up now!)
The kids thought it was fantastic... and they were happily flinging rocks at everything!
(luckily not at cars or people!)
Dirty Dirty little man!
Then it was time to fire up the BBQ!
Rob can't get away from work - even when we're in a place with very limited reception!
Drew setting up a shower for Dad to use....
Rob did some stargazing with Jade that night....
Sunday
Coming in to check out a section...
HeBeGB
HeBe, Me & Drew
Concentration Face
HeBe got Jade's bike going - so she was very happy!
At the presentation the kids were given Encouragement Awards...
They were very happy with this!
Blake was asleep before we got out of the property.... a very big weekend for him!
