Hurling in the park

HOORLIN

Well I took these cool photos when we went down to the park and it seemed a shame to NOT include em on the blog, even though I've done something similar before.

This time it was David, Emma, Cath and I that whacked away.

Emma's got the style...




Waiting patiently for David to hit it over her head... again!




David... well he has that Catherine 'tongue out the corner of the mouth when hitting the ball' thing going. I tried to capture it but couldn't quite...




Keeping his eye on the ball - I taught him well!



The scenic wide angle shot.



It's supposed to go in the air - damn those hockey-playing skills.


And then, lectures attended for the day, the real star appeared and showed the young ones how it's done!



So stylish. Dad would be proud no-doubt of that golf swing stance.

However, missing the ball was not part of the script...


And here... well I took this photo so I know, she didn't miss the ball - it may look like it and make sense, given the ball being behind the hurley, but she connected this one and it went forward before spinning wildy after bouncing and coming back to rest at her feet. 20 euro says you couldn't do that again.



And then the battle began - David chasing Cath who went on a bit of a solo run. Of course giraffe-boy covered twice the ground Catherine covered in half the steps.

As if Facebook, gmail and hotseminakedswedishblondes.com weren't taking up enough of my time, now I'm writing a blog!

Oh well - it just goes to show - any idiot can write a blog.
