So October came and rugby mania began. We worked around the small issue of the games being played on the other side of the world and got up at 3.45 am one Sunday to watch the semi finals. We were so pleased with our win but boy were we all wrecked for the rest of the day!
The following week was a little easier - we didn't need to get up until 4.45am for the final! The ABs played well and ours was a very very happy household by the end of the game!
Mind you, the early start was followed by a hosted breakfast on the other side of town with a colleague of Jake's and then the annual school fair..... which meant we weren't a very happy household by the afternoon. The word TIRED doesn't even begin to describe it!
Alfie still managed to find the energy to "Fight the Knight" at the school fair though!
The following week when the All Blacks brought the cup to Wellington for their official parade, I took the kids out of school for the day (along with most of Wellington - the teachers must've had a very easy day last Friday!). We went into the centre of town, along with around 100,000 other people, and enjoyed the sunshine and the atmosphere - and seeing the players and the cup of course!
This is what Civic Square looked like for the afternoon - we're in the middle of that somewhere! (Crowds like this are pretty rare in Wellington)
