2007 Bathurst 1000
Hey Greggie,
We've been up to lots (and I've been a slacker yes I know!).
We went for a little 'holiday' to Bathurst for the 1000. It was great fun. The race week actually started on Wednesday at Supercheap when you met Russell Ingal - although you didn't seem too impressed by meeting him - although were so excited when we put his poster up on your wall!!!
Anyhows, we (Dad, Mitchell, you and me) headed down to Bathurst Mount Panorama, on Friday morning and stopped in to see Julie. We ended up picking her up and taking her with us too. We knew that you would be excited to see everything - cars, planes, big trucks and such but we weren't prepared for the HUGE "CAAAAAAAARS!" followed by extreme hyper-ventilation of excitment as we came over the hill and saw the Mount Panorama sign. (I spose it didn't help that seeing as Dad has been home you've been watching the last Bathurst races on the tv over the last 2 weeks! LoL!)
After finally parking and getting the stroller through the entrance, a helicopter flew over-head and you went skitz telling everyone about it. In the end I wasn't sure if you were more excited by the cars or the helicopters and planes!!
We waited in line (yes again) for some signatures including Mark Scaife, Glen Seton & Craig Lowndes. You high fived them and got another photo with Lowndes, who was also more than happy to sign the photos of you and him from last year!! Wow! Photos with the Bathurst winner 2 years in a row! :o) (Pity he drives a ford now.......... )
We stopped for lunch and you were so well behaved! After this we went and watched the qualifying, sitting right between the start/finish line and the final corner.
We got home to find out that Julie had spoilt you and Mitchell and bought you each a Holden 'Rory' lion! (I admit I spoilt you two as well as I bought a couple of 'car' shirts :oP Which you LOVE!)
Uncle Graham joined us at Julies for the night and after such a big day you slept very well. Julie looked after you on & Mitchie on Saturday while your Dad and I went to the races together. You were so well behaved - although you didn't want to eat anything but apples all day! lol!!
Dad and I picked you back up on our way back home - you were EXHAUSTED, but happy to see us. It was about 1 1/2 hrs from Julies home and you fell asleep 10mins from home. Both you and Mitchell didn't wake when we stopped the car and Dad was able to get you out and put you to straight to bed.
I found out the hard way on Sunday (as Dad had gone back to Bathurst for the race with U.Andy) that you had been sick during the early morning and continued to be sick for Sunday :o(.
(I have tried to upload pics but its being silly again so i'll try again soon)
We have now put your 'car' posters up in your room and everytime someone comes to the house you have to show them your room and the CARS!! You also like to pretend to 'roar' at the Rory lion - it is soooooo cute.
Luv ya..... Can't wait til next year - Murphy to win eh?
