Another Crook and Law EPIC weekend

Oh wow... It has been another loooooooooooooooooooong delay between posts. Life has been busy trying to find the happy medium between work and life (and often feeling like THAT is impossible). So much to post about and yet I never seem to be able to make the time to stop to do so. This weekend is an acception though, I have found that moment to reflect, to sit and type, to capture the now. So here goes... Friday night we braved our local show, a wet and windy night with people everywhere. I worked up until 6pm at the local library so sadly missed out on the usual wandering around and checking out the local stalls, crafts, and displays. Our daughter entered some cakes and muffins, after having some success at last year's show. Sadly no luck this time with a million and one entries in her age group... We are super proud of her efforts though and we love the taste of everything she bakes. It was great fun spending some time with the Crook family... Even if for me if was just sharing hot chips for tea... Saturday saw us once again playing host to an epic Australian Football Grand Final party... Streamers, balloons, friends, drinks, and soooooooooo much food. Our team, the Geelong Cats, came to play, teaching the Sydney Swans a harsh lesson on how to play the game on the biggest stage of all. Geelong truly proved they are The Greatest Team of All (at least in 2022)... Again the Crook family were there with us, cheering at each goal. My brother-in-law Ben and I both married Gallasch sisters nineteen years ago and our friendship has grown stronger and stronger over the years. The girls sadly lost their mum (a HUGE Geelong Cats fan) mid last year and so watching the win was a very emotional one as the Cats did it for mum this year. We are sure that Barbara is up there looking down on us all, cheering as loudly as she can. We feel her presence always, but even more so yesterday during the game. Now on to today... Day three of our EPIC Crook and Law weekend... Today we are off to a FREE day at the Adelaide Zoo!! Thanks to the union that my wife and my daughter both belong to we have two free family passes to a day out at our local zoo... This is not the Monarto Open Range Zoological Park, more a traditional city zoo... We love seeing all of the animals, and the free sausage sizzle is an added bonus... Looking forward to the fun ahead as once again we have a solid catch up with the Crooks. Hoping you all are having a great time too... Hopefully soon I can jump back on and bring you up to speed on everything else that is happening in my world, the world of Tim the Wizard... :)
