CROWMANIA HITS TOWN

The Crows have landed - right in the middle of our town! Here's me and Tulle with our rather cutee captain Nathan van Burlo.

It's handy to have friends in high places! Well a son and a daddy!


We scored an invitation to the official welcome and met the coach 'Craigie"




Later in the day we had a group visit school for a chat and some autographs. Here's your boy Auntie Carol - how lucky were we to get Patrick Dangerfield?!!

He signed Tulle's sock!




Never gonna wash that sock again!




In the late afternoon off to Blue Lake Sports Park with a couple hundred other school aged football enthusiasts for a coaching clinic.



The summer storm had been, leaving a beautiful dark sky and sunshine in its wake :)


Tulle preparing for tackle practice...........

She hit that dummy...



Bounced right back up



And off again!



Then it was autograph time. The players were very generous with their time and took the time to chat with ALL the kids.


Most of the youngins I didn't know.

Then we caught up with this golden 'oldie'.

You know my address and the town my mail comes from. My home town however is DAINGERFIELD!!! Patrick may be very, very distantly related to the "Captain" my town is named after! How NEAT is that?!
