I survived party...but, missed clear skies!!!

Well, I've missed the clearest night in Sydney for a while now and I am kind of bummed about that...

But, I did survive a birthday party for my now 6 year old son which included an astounding 23 kids all aged 6 years old or less...

You are crazy, you might be thinking and you would be right...I don't think I'll do anything like that again!

We had a "sporting" theme and ran the kids hard with several relay races (sack race etc.), tug of war and an obsacle course. I am sure that there are many tired kids...I know I am!

Anyway, I'm sure that there will be other clear nights but not another 6th birthday party for my youngest son, so I would not trade the experience for either of us.

Well, I'm flying out early for another overseas trip...take care all and continued clear skies!

Exactly, Scott!

They grow up too fast, spend all the time you can with them.

The song 'Cats in the Cradle' is always a great reminder. So true!
