Where Sport Imitates Art....Almost!

The two days of this weekend were spent at the NSW Country Regional Swimming Meet at the Australian Institute of Sport.

On several occasions there was quite a lengthy wait between events. So, while GrumpyDaddy took on the time keeping duties, I was in charge of entertaining the three troubles; Buster (4), Muscles (7) and Flash (8).

As you can imagine, Buster does not enjoy sitting in the stands watching swimming races for hours at a time. So to keep the kids entertained, and myself sane, we explored the AIS. The kids were facinated by the various statues and sculptures in the AIS grounds. We had a lot of fun messing aroung and taking silly photos  :)










Interestingly, when we arrived at the pool on Sunday morning, the beautiful swimmer statue was wearing a swimming cap, belonging to one of the participating swim clubs....I wonder how she got that??


We also purchased some souvenirs from the AIS gift shop for mum's taxi..... Now I'm really feeling like a soccer mom!

Today I'm linking up with Sonia at Life Love & Hiccups for wonderful weekends and at Sunny + Scout for Point + Shoot. Come and have a look at what everyone has been up to this wonderful weekend!
