As luck would have it, Lucas had some spare tickets for the Saints vs Cats game last Friday. So, we managed to convince Deon and Oscar to come up for a short visit, and to join Lucas and his Dad in going to the game. The boys had lots of fun playing together on the Friday, and were very excited on the train trip into the city on the way to the game. (Oscar really was excited, he just has a very good poker face).
Once we got to the MCG, we all went straight to the top tier in order to get the best view of the action. The boys were very impressed with the view, but were far more impressed with the menu of hot chips, pies, sausage rolls and coca-cola! Once dinner was sorted, the game got underway, and we were all very entertained by an extremely close and nail-biting game. Lucas brought his Saints mascot bear, but Ossie was hedging his bets, and brought along a spare "Cats" bear just in case. In the end, the Saints triumphed, and we had a fantastic time cheering them on to victory. Lucas even got into the spirit of jeering the opposing team, although I don't think Gary Ablett would have been too phased if he'd heard the phrase "Naughty Cats!" being yelled out.
We're just having a quiet morning at the moment - the boys have had a HUGE sleep in, and are currently busy with the task of irreversibly mixing up all of Lucas' lego kits into one humungous mega fortress. Ossie and Deon will have to go home soon, and we'll be sad to see them go. :(
