[...] game earlier in the season. I thought it would be a good birthday outing for my son. Unfortunately he didn’t agree which was a shame. Even though I’m not a football fan, I don’t mind going to a game [...]

PlanningQueen, I’ll let you in on a little secret. I did some post processing on the photos, but the grass was fairly green. I like small traditions and this could be a good one.

Gorgeous photos – the grass looks soooo green. I thin it is a great idea to have annual events, creating small traditions is really important I think.

Jayne, I think you hit the nail on the head there in regards to activities and being out of comfort zones. There was a girl behind us who was colouring in while her parents were yelling their heads off.

I think footy is really a game that can only be appreciated by kids via the idiot box – there’s too much going on around them, separate to the game, for them to be able to focus and enjoy it properly.
Plus they’re out of their comfort zone
Glad to hear you had a fun time, maybe take some activity books for JJ next time?

I took ‘Salina to a game at the Gabba when she was younger – it was great fun until half time then she had had enough – which was just as well, as the Lions won the first half!!!!

Glad that, on the balance, a good time was had.
