Paish: I played in my first rugby league tournament this weekend for Aotearoa Qweenz, a team with a few of my Brothers touch players who play for Ellenbrook - they are such a nice team and pretty exciting to play with. Amy, Rae, Kayleigh and Paihou were also in the team which allowed me to relax a little. I started out on the wing, but gradually got moved into the centre.

Dad and I went down on Friday - we left a little late, went to the 4WD Supercentre to pick up our rescue tow bar attachment, and then we went to dumplings! They were so nice, and we made sure we sent Mummy and Rox a piccie! When we arrived at our house in Jecks Road, we headed out to Safety Bay for a bit of windsurfing. The wind was a bit light, but Daddy managed to get a few good runs in. Mum and Rox came arrived at around 8ish, and we had fried rice for dinner - yummy!

On Saturday we had 3 games that started at 9.30, and finished around 2pm. The first game was against Nicole's team, and we won it by one try - it was really close! The next two we won fairly easily.

On Sunday, we had our final pool game which we won to be top of the table. That allowed us to rest until 1pm where we played our semi-final against team we hadn't played before, and then we played the final against Nicole's team again! They scored first, but we then hit back with 3 tries. I played pretty well, but had a chance to score a try in the last minute, but I dropped the ball! ARRRRRGGGHHH! We won the final though which was soooo cool!

It was so much fun though. Kay came down on Saturday to watch too which was so nice. We played Texas Hold'em at night after dinner.

Rox: So proud of you Paish! It was so great to watch you play so well!

I had my netball game on Saturday against Ballz - a must win game if we were going to make finals! We lost to them by one point before, so we were taking no chances! I played WD all game, and loved playing with Giorgia who played GD all game. We managed to keep them out pretty well, and let our attack do the rest. In the end, we won 45-17 - we played amazing, and showed them how well we can actually play! Let's hope we can smash them if we meet them in the final, but we will be without Rhythm and myself! What a shame, but we will both be playing State Touch.

We got back at around 5.30pm on Sunday, and Aaliyah, Clara, Nikita and Charlette came round for my party at around 6.30pm. We hit the pool and had takeaway pizzas too - it was so much fun, and Kay and Paish joined us later in the pool. The pool was 34 degrees too! We then came in and crashed in the games room - we were all pretty tired by 12 amazingly.

Monday was a public holiday, and was pouring with rain. We decided to go to Laser Tag - we didn't do too well, but it was fun! I came second in our group, but our team came last - boo! We came back and played Cluedo which was funny - Aaliyah just won, as I also guessed the same as her!

They all left at 4pm - I really enjoyed it - thank you guys for coming!

C: Callie Wally Cheeky Monkey Dog on Friday night! Barked all night and kept everyone awake!

Amazing result Rox, and fantastic tournament Paish - so proud of both of you!

What a fun mini-break!

S: I like rugby league a little better when Paishy plays - well done Paish, very impressive first try at NRL. Roxy Roo, you did good!

Windsurfing was fun on Jason's board (121 litre), and after 20 minutes of getting used to it, I was fine - I just wish I had a bit more wind. On Saturday, I only had a couple of runs before it got dark. On Sunday, we did a bit of a tour around the beaches - Secret Harbour was amazing for surf - we gotta come down here. Warnbro Sound was really flat - great for dog walking.

A really fun, but exhausting weekend!
