Queens birthday long weekend - New 21 and 22

 
Now in some ways I did nothing new on the Queens birthday long weekend. I went orienteering. Been there done that a million times before. However I feel I deserve at least two new things.
 
21 - New age group at Orienteering - Womans 35-39 years Long course. This was a bit of a challenge given training lately has been one week in 6 and the week before the event I'd been rather sick. The second day I was out for 70 minutes, it was a long way. Good training, hey. I kind of wished I'd entered a shorter course but I survived it and the distance is another good reason to do some more training. Also saw a koala up a tree.
 
The kids had a ball two. Firstly Nana and Poppy were there and secondly it's just totally awesome playing in the forest when you're a kid. There's a tepee they made above. Took them about an hour or more. great entertainment.
 
22 - Take 3 children away ALL BY YOURSELF for 2 nights. Staying at cousin Collette's certainly took the pain out of this one as she laid on dinner and afternoon teas for us which was lovely. We stayed in the guesthouse - one big room and I went to bed at 8pm or so when the kids did.  It was little tiring looking up these 3 lovelies all by myself.
