Rowdy and rugby

Amp show
I was a rowdy the other day for my roommate mister wonky donkey man. When I say I was a rowdy i mean like I helped him set up for his concerts and helped sell and put it on. I also played the kea and the monkey. Were I dresses up in a full mascot looking bird suit and flapped my wings giving kids high fives. If interested follow the link below to hear the best selling children book in Nz and Australia.

If that doesn't work just YouTube wonky donkey or Craig smith I am certain it will be first one.
Not only did I get to play animals in the show I also got to go see all the animal shows. They had sheep sheering competitions, horse shows, cow, dog, rounding up the sheep with the dogs, and you no more typical fair things like best fruit best dessert yada yada. It was neat I had a lot of fun.

Rugby sevens
The national rugby 7 tournament was held in queenstown. Where you play with 7 on a side and 7 min halfs. It was a typical out of hand sporting event for the fans. Fans brought in there own everything including sofas to watch the game. So basically it was lie one huge tailgate being allowed inside the gates. The games were a ton of fun to watch I all most have all the rules down. I of course now want to play. Looks so fun I bet I would be quite good at it. Unfortunately queenstown doesn't have a womens team yet. For the championship guys game they delivered the ball with someone bungy jumping out of a helicopter. .... My favorite part ... I always need to add so etching inappropriate to my blog post ha.... For the semi finals and championship games of the girls and boys. The boy players that have lost do a undi run during half time. It is hilarious and encouraged in Nz ( what the heck usa why do we not encourage that ha) mean wile all ten guy teams are doing this and the announcer is always saying where are the girl teams. During the last game there was one brave girl who sprinted out and all the boys teams chased her and then they stopped at half way and she shot them all and they all fall to ground and wiggle there feet putting on a show of course and the crowd goes wild due to a girl finally doing the run. Over all great weekend!

  1. Oh girl....you are too funny but I so can see you doing this. Better thank cooking, cleaning, clothes, etc. All that domestic stuff you see on FB all the time. hahaha I shared your birthday pics with gma and she was "impressed" .... well maybe a bit worried. I didn't let her read the blog for that day because I think it would have put her over the edge (no pun intended). Anyway, she enjoyed seeing them all and was glad it was working out for you. Of COURSE, she would rather you be in MN but hey, what do you do ... MN or the beautiful NZ? So, carry on with the GREAT pics, wonderful updates, and us living this great adventure through you.

    Stay safe!
