Red Bull Weekend

A busy weekend started off with an invite for a meal on Friday evening. We had a lovely time and Kaitlyn made a new friend.

The weekend kicked off with a trip to Dad's office to view the Red Bull Air Race on Saturday morning. The office is on the 15th floor and has great views across the river where the Air Race was taking place.
Sandwiches, Cookies and refreshments were provided. The Air Race took place over the weekend. All had a good time and we could see the Air Race although the view would probably have been better from the South side of the river. Maybe next year we will try and get seats on the grandstand.
Kaitlyn thoroughly enjoyed herself and also managed to keep herself occupied with a white board and marker pens.
We were invited to a friend's house warming party on Saturday evening. A good time had by all.
Mike and Phil tried to look serious for the camera but ended up just looking stupid.
Sunday morning started up with a trip to the South Perth Sailing Club Open Day. We all went for a jaunt on a sail boat to get a taste of what sailing was all about. Everyone enjoyed it and M, C & K are keen to sign up for lessons.

It was a gorgeous day on Sunday with temperatures reaching into the 30's. Time to test the kayak on the river. We headed to Point Walter with Andy and Heather for a day at the riverside.

You would have thought that was enough water activities for one day but alas the beckoning of the cool (22°C) pool water was too much of a temptation for some.
Surprisingly it wasn't too cold and this will likely become a regular occurence over the next few months, especially as the weather improves.
