Come On the Bay!

Lily's first rugby game...she's been so excited, even refusing to go to bed one night because we hadn't been to the rugby! (had to explain that it wasn't on for a few weeks!)
Here they are entertaining passers by before we headed in... Eden's in black and white too! Lily loved watching the cheerleaders...
Lachie didn't ask as many questions, I think after all the rugby we've been watching (though not exceeding 2 hours TV a day, but before the World Cup was less than one though!), he's figured out most of the rules - one thing he didn't understand was a penalty given near the try line, resulting in cheers but isn't a try...
And a fair amount of Mooloo supporters, including Rhian, Steve and Mark...didn't help them much, neither did the dodgy biased ref! A good win for the Magpies and best news, a home quarter-final!Eden loved it too! She could actually hear all the cow bells and the hooter, the stomping and the singing. She missed a sleep, but she didn't care one bit!
Might even make it to Palmy on our way back from Wellington next week to show some black and white support...
Ended the night at a pub, with enough grandparents, aunties, uncles and friends to entertain the kids til well past bedtime! (Considering bedtime was kick off!)
