The girls finished up the races today. it was a very busy 2 days, but the girls did fantastic!!!! As you all know we always finish first in our lane! I think everyone had lots of fun and lots of rays and made lots of new friends.
The excitment of today was the girls finished 2nd in their final race…they were beaming! Overall the girls got to have 5 races total, 3 the first day and 2 today. Even the supporters got to have a race yesturday and one today which the BB’s supporters won!!
Last night after the races all the girls were shipped out to Aussie World which is a amusement park and we all had food, drinks, dancing and rides! You should have seen Rona on ‘the mouse’ (a rollercoaster) I think she had a lot of fun! Almost all of us went on some of the rides and some of us walked away green in the face. Some of the people also went to the famous Ettamogah Pub, which is famous because of an old Australian cartoon.
The parade was on Friday and all the teams came out dressed up. I think the whole town and then some showed up to watch the girls walk down along the beach and through town. After the parade we rallied in Kings Beach park for the opening ceremonies.
The week has really flown by, it is hard to beleive that we will be leaving Caloundra tomorrow. Tonight we are going to be celebrating everyones hard work with a relaxing BBQ down by the pool.
Hope you are all well, we will try to bring the warm weather with us when we come home…hahaha.
