All ten cousins and Gran and uncle and aunties, 18 in all, set off to Taronga Zoo in the Sydney Harbor suburb of Mosman. The zoo probably has one of the best settings in the world over looking Sydney Harbor and the city in the back ground where you can see the Opera House and the Harbor bridge. It was a little cold out but still not too bad for the middle of winter. We explored the zoo for six hours, seeing Kangaroos, Kolas and all the other unique Australian animals, plus we got to look at the other usually zoo creatures. The kids had fun run from one thing to the next.
Once the zoo fun was over it was time for the kids to head off for the big sleep over. My sister was having all ten cousins stay at her house for the night. Pizza, movies, games, and lots of running around screaming. Reports back from the kids were that it was lots and lots of fun. There was no bed time so kids just kind of passed out, Gavin was reported the first one gone, Gabbie hung in until about 2 in the morning, and their oldest cousin decided not to go to bed.
Well since the kids were at my sisters, my two brothers and I got to go to another rugby league game, this time between Manly Sea Eagles and the West Sydney Tigers. We meet up with several of my brothers friends at the pub before hand and then meet several more one at the game. We also ran into our cousin Greg Gately that we had not seen for about ten years. After a good game of footy, which the Sea Eagles won, our local team, we headed of the the pub were all the plays got after the game. Since my brother Ian played there back in the late 80's and early 90's he knew lost of people, so it was a long night talking with all the old players which gave my older brother and myself lots of stories about our brother Ian.
