Saturday 1st November
Conondale is getting busier and busier each year, when we first started going there would only be a handful of families camping on the Friday night.... so because of that, there were always cows walking through the campsite in the early morning....
That's no longer the case..... now at least half the people arrive on the Friday to get a full day of riding in on the Saturday before the comp on Sunday.....
The bonus of this is that the showers are working from the Friday - which means, Saturday Morning showers are a THING!
Puggle was given his very own Puggle from Suz and HeBe
Happy Birthday Drew... I got you an 18yr old!
18yr old... slightly more appropriate than a 12yr old....
(but only slightly!)
I think he's in love!
I bought myself an early birthday present.... and got a new Helmet as the one I'd bought last year had been a Large when I'd ordered a Medium.... and it was too big....
Happy Birthday HeBeGB - I gave him my old helmet that fitted him perfectly :)
This is part of Drew's birthday present.... I made him a Beta jacket....
Blake found a friend to go riding with - and off he went....
View up the one creek at Conondale....
Best trials spot....
(though - I think Rosedale is pretty impressive too! Just sayin')
As per usual - one of our bikes needs looking at....
Blake's bike kept dying - and we couldn't work out why.... HeBe to the rescue....
Blake's birthday cake didn't survive the trip.... It was left in the car in the heat - and the icing melted off... Poor Drew was devastated as he was sure this cake was going to remain awesome.....
(and it was awesome - and everyone loved it - and he managed to stick most of it back together....)
Given it was Drew's birthday - we turned his damper into his very own birthday cake - with Sparklers....)
Happy Birthday Drew....!
Blake's cake put back together... ready to go out for everyone to sing happy birthday...
And this was the most lit that it was.... once we got outside - the candles blew themselves out - and there was no fixing it....
Blake didn't mind :)
Blake was most impressed about the pick axe on top of his cake....
The kids demonstrating how a pick axe works in minecraft...
Blake with his cake....
And of course, Blake wanted to eat his pick axe....
Cutting the cake...
Green and Brown layers.... Drew then cut these into squares... so they really looked like minecraft pieces... (but unfortunately I didn't get a photo of that!)
Drew gave Blake his birthday present early......
