Giddy Up . . . Batter Up

My friend Caroline got some half price vouchers for horse riding at Centennial Park, so we decided to take the boys before they started school and life became too chaotic.
We got there early on a Saturday and after some bike riding through the park we went next door to Fox Studios to get some lunch. As we walked over to the playground we saw a cricket match going on, part of a promotion for the Sydney 6'ers cricket team. Riley and Austin looked longingly at the boys playing, who were all a lot older, then asked if they could go play. We said sure, if they went and asked, so they did - and before we knew it there they were fully involved with the game. The players were so good, helping them a lot and they both got a chance to bat, after lots of misses they both even managed to hit a shot - well the bowler had to basically place the ball on their bats. They had an absolute ball and later posed with one of the players, Stuart McGill.

Then it was time for horse riding . . .

As Austin later said "that was a great day, I got to do 2 things, cricket AND horse riding" - I think the unplanned and free cricket was their favourite though . . .
