Convention...

So AFTER Boxing day lunch and BEFORE our six o'clock AM flight to Adelaide we decided to catch up with Hayds and Julia who were feeling a little left out of our Convention excitement...We headed to our FAVOURITE place in the world...the Landsdowne Cres Oval where there are a set of awesome swings with a view...
I made a new game...lets try and jump through the swing...Dale and Hayden delighted in the fact that I failed...And then proceeded to show me how it was done...
We also bought $1 sparklers which we lit and threw...because...well just because it looks cool when they fly through the air...luckily there was no fire ban on...
So after crashing into bed about 1:30 am I awoke at 4:15am to get ready for Convention...
Here we are in Adelaide on our way to St Marks...




Not much to do that afternoon so we headed into the city and Mick Jury gave us a Kontiki tour...

Of course as with all Conventions it really comes down to making your own fun...we loved Fiona Cluff's room because she had a BALCONY...not a very large one...but just big enough for a three person BALCONY PARTY every night...we LOVED it cause it looked over the Marquee and was a great spot to do some 'guy watching' haha...


Seriously one of the BEST parts of Convention was discovering the 'O-Barn' It's this Bus system that is like a Roller Coaster...AWESOME!! Here is Jess and I on the o-barn...
We had the privilage of experiencing the backside of Adelaide...Port Adelaide...this was supposed to be a Dolphin tour...we saw one...luckily...but I don't know if it was worth the Rotten Eggs smell we put up with the whole time...mmm...


Ball night is always good...well the getting dressed up bit...




We made friends with a Chaperone named Tony Lawry...he LOVED the tassie girls and would always put us together in his bus...haha good times...
The New Years Eve dress up dance is always good...this time the theme was A and C...so Elle dressed up as the 'Alphabet' and Sacha as an 'Amenities block'


Dale was 'Anthony' wiggle...Adam was a 'Chicken'...Fiona went as a 'Candy shop'
Because of the time difference in Adelaide we headed to the roof to celebrate tassie new years...here we all are minus Josh and Maz who were running late for the pic...

It was better than I expected and I met some cool people but once again it was just another chance to hang with the cool tassie peeps in a different setting:)
