RWC public training session

(yes, it's the French team.  They are the team staying in Takapuna. Sorry)

About a week and a half ago I found out from people's posts on facebook that there was a rugby training session for the French team that would be open to the public.  The French team are staying at the Spencer on Byron hotel, Takapuna - right over the road from where Adam works.  The kids have been really excited about all the RWC stuff happening so I decided I'd take them after school.

It was fun.  If you could ignore the French-ness :D They had facepainting, but were only doing French colours. Since Lani was the only one who wanted her face painted, I calmly told her there was no way she was going to have the French colours!  So we skipped the face painting and I promised to do her the English flag on her face for her special mufti day at school next week.  They did, however, give out french flags to the kids and I somehow managed to end up with about 8 of them.  (They didn't make it back to our house afterwards)


Waiting for the French team to arrive (they were late!)
