Slog to Sale!!

Well on the 4th of October 118 riders set out from Pakenham to Sale on their bikes!!
The weather was quite cool with a few showers in the early morning however all the riders did a fantastic job! I'm always amazed by the 'elite' riders making it to Sale in 4-5 hours and even more impressed with those people that don't train or ride very often making it most of the way or even all of the way!!!
Sharon asked Danielle and I to take some shots of the day and we definitely did! In the morning when Danielle was registering people I had too Canon 40d's around my neck and a digital camcorder in my hand as Dogga had to work and therefore couldn't film the day! So I was busy!

This year Dad and Aaron both rode, however they had a lot of mechanical problems. Aaron's front tyre tube had 3 punctures, the chain and gears fall off or something and then it wasn't fixed properly so it had to be fixed again and dad also had his actual tyre punctued. Which meant he had to get on 'the bus of shame' as he called it before the ride!! That happened 30km out of Taralgon so at the lunch break he was able to fix it and continue to ride to Sale. Aaron also made it all the way but claims he's not doing it next year!!

All in all it was a fun day but very tiring....even though I wasn't riding! So I'm sure everyone else is exhausted too!
Anyways I've already put heaps of photos up on facebook so I'll only put a few up here.

Cousin Fun

Last week I spent the day with some of my cousins. Sarah, Hannah and I headed down to Jess and Chris' new house in Emerald. We had lots of fun making gingerbread men, having a picnic lunch at Emerald Lake Park, having a coffee at a cafe in Belgrave and making movies! It was good to catch up with them as we don't get to see each other that often but when we do it's always lots of fun!

Double Figures equals Double Trouble

Sean turned 10 today! I can't believe he's already 10 as I can remember taking him to school for show and tell a few weeks after he was born!

V8 Camp

Well most of you have probably by now seen some of the photos on facebook from our the V8 camp. But just in case you didn't know V8 the youth group of the church went on a camp to a place in Gembrook. It was lots of fun and I'm pretty sure all the kids enjoyed themselves! Anyways it provided me a very good oppurtunity to take some photos in all different... 'conditions'! Which was good! I will admit I'm not that happy with most of the photos I took as my camera settings just weren't quite right, but its so hard to quickly adjust all the camera settings and still try and get a good shot! Ohwell I'll learn! Anyways here are some more photos!

Cultural Day + Staff/Student Footy

My school had cultural day on Thursday, which is a day where all the houses verse one another in 'cultural' activities such as; cooking, singing, playing instruments & chess, theatre sports ect... And they also had the staff/student footy match going. So anyways I decided to bring along my camera as I was nominated to take photos of the day for my house and cause I wanted to play with my camera!! So heres some of the best photos of the day!
