Bathurst 1000 2006

Hey Baby boy,We had a big weekend - it started on Thursday when we left for Bathurst on a road trip with Aunty Lynda, Uncle Grum and Chelsea. We left Dubbo around lunchtime - we stopped at Maccas in Orange for a 'pit-stop' and driver change *heheh* and you grabbed the chance to grab the wheel of U.Grums car.
We got to our cabins just before the sun set and you had some fun in your jolly jumper while we set up and waited for Dad and Uncle Andy to arrive.

Friday morning and the boys (the boys being Uncle Grum, Uncle Andy and Daaaaaaaaddy) left for the mountain fairly early... we were all really tired as you didn't think anyone needed sleep (thank you! NOT).Aunty Lynda, Chelsea you and I headed into Bathurst and got to the track around 10:30ish. Some nice people helped us carry the prams over the 'supercheap bridge'. Lucky that they did because while Aunty Lynda went to see Uncle Grum we lined up to meet some of the drivers. After a while standing out in the sun, the drivers arrived. You saw Craig Lowndes sitting down waiting for people to sign auotgraphs for and waved at him - he waved back to you and you went all coy!! So I knew who you were going to get your photo with!!We finally got to Lowndesy and we asked if you could have your photo with him and he was more than happy - actually mentioned that he'd been waiting to see you since you waved at him!! lol - he did say that you need a new shirt next year ;o) (Nah... we'll meet Murph next year)
We stayed at the pits for a little while longer - had a look around before heading back over the bridge where we caught up with Uncle Andy. He helped us go 'shopping' and get some souvineers before signing the Brockie Tribute Commodore - there wasn't much room left at all!
We got back to the cabins and our Sydney friends had all arrived. We waited for the boys to get back from the track before having a BBQ dinner and getting to bed a little earlier.

Saturday morning the boys still had an early morning and you decided to let them leave without making too much fuss :P Thank you!! You also let your mum sleep-in a little. Aunty Lynda and I decided to take you two munchkins into Oberon for lunch. The other two gals decided to join us. We had a lovely lunch before you got a little tired and we headed back to the cabins where you had a lovely sleep. I went for a walk with Maree and you were still sleeping when we got back so I had a nap too! Thankies!!
We had some more visitors join us for a big BBQ and our boys finally got back from the track. We had a feast - although you just wanted a bottle - it seems as though you wanted a bundy can more and tipped it all over the coffee table!! argh!! its all good :P

You slept well on Saturday night and when the boys got up before sunrise to be at the track on time for marshalling you didn't even stir. We got up around 6:30ish and Chelsea woke then too. Ah well... When you two munchkins finally went back to bed we were able to start packing the trailer to head home soon after lunch. We left the cabins about 3:00 and heard the results of the race as we were leaving Orange - Lowndes had won - yes!!! Poor Murph hadn't gone too well and his partner had crashed out earlier :o(.
After tag-team crying all the way from Molong we got home where Grandma and Grandad helped me to unpack the trailer before the boys arrived home about 9:00ish. You were not up long and had a wonderful sleep - you were so tired.
Hoping to make a trip with you again soon - spend more time with Daddy!!!
Anyhow - here starts a new and exciting week - I wonder what it holds for us all - we'll all soon see!!
*hugs for you!*
Mummy
