Easter Weekend and the Shananigans That Happened

If you're wondering who the Harry Hazard is in the pic next to me, Campbell can't shave until he scores a try!

Lovely....

So Easter in New Zealand means a four day weekend, which I'm sure is how Jesus would have intended it. There was no church, but I'm pretty sure I had some holly wine and prayed to god on Monday when my hangover set in.

The weather was beautiful and had us in sunnys (sunglasses) the entire weekend. Friday, Campbell and I decide to be a super couple and try out a new walking track. An amazing opportunity to check out the changing colours of the Autumn leaves, all the while getting a little exercise in on our food full weekend. We landed at the track at the same time as a couple and their three daughters.  That poor father. Every hill they hit, the youngest one had to stop, get off her bike and suckered him into pushing the bike up the hill. Talk about being wrapped around someones finger.  Good luck when she 16!

Saturday was the Whitehorse Cup, unfortunately the boys did not win.  It was a great game and Campbell played very well.  Although I believe he had a high tackle in there somewhere and pretty much clotheslined a guy. I guess it's understandable saying he's 6/3.   I'll let it slide, but the ref sure didn't!

Sunday was SUNNY and the perfect day for a Sunday Session. A few of us gathered at Georgie & Huddy's with whatever booze we could scrounge up without being able to buy booze on Easter Sunday.  Whole lot of beer and Kaluha with milk.  Damn good day.  After a lot of laughs and peace of mind, we were all in bed by 10pm. Such rock stars haha

Monday was ANZAC Day, which to us is Remembrance Day. Campbell and I put our headaches aside, got all dressed up and attended the 9:30am ceremony.  Funny enough, NZ poppies are different then ours - I'll post a pic for you guys.  We had to laugh afterwards; during the prayer songs there was one woman's high pitched voice that overwhelmed the entire crowd.  You know the one, she's always at church or weddings and thinks she can sing really well. Someone should tell her she can't.

I'm so stoked for this weekend as Campbell has arranged for us to meet up with Toby & Chrissy and attend the Highlanders game in Dunedin.  Basically like attending a Leaf game. I'm super pumped for a live sports event.  Woo Woo Watch Out!!

Catch up with you next week xoxo J
