Watch out Dunedin - here come the Dodges!!!

Look out Dunedin!!! After a very nervous phone call they hung up and were about to get on the plane. First plane trip and i think both Tania and Sarah were a bit nervous. But they made it down here, no problems at all. I had so much planned for them, it was going to be great!!! The first day i took them out to have a look around the Octagon and check out what they wanted to do. And what are 3 ladies on the town suppose to do???
Yep we got our nails done. Tania kept her own nails and got an amazing design on them. Sarah and I went for the long nails option and yep they were long. We all looked great, even tho Tania had to pick everything up for us cause we couldnt with the lenght of our nails, ha ha ha ha...
Then all hell broke lose when Mike arrived home and the electric guitar was spotted in the corner, yee haa!!! The Rocking Dodges!!! I left them to it.Plugged into the effects board there were all sorts of versions of guitar boogie coming were from the lounge room.
We did so much, The Mad Scientist, Cadbury World, The Chinese Gardens, The Movies, Ladies Day out (make-up and lunch in the octagon), The Cadbury Crunchie Train, The Baldwin St Jaffa Race, Mr Green and Corneillis, Velvet Burger, Ice skating Disco, The Otago Muesum, the list goes on...But i think we cant go pass The Tri-nations Rugby, NZ Vs S.Africa, now that was fantastic. I wanted to take the girls to the All Blacks Roadshow at the Oval, where you can try "catching a high ball", "throwing the line out", "kicking for touch", "passing" and last but not least " scoring a try". They had a photo booth there where Mike decided he wanted to be winner of the Bledisloe Cup.



He's the man!!! Then not to be out done, Sarah got picked out of the crowd to go head to head with Brett Stevens from the Crusaders trying to score a try. And she kicked butt. She also got her photo taken with Buck Shelford (altho i had to explain who he was, ha ha ha)... It was a great day. She is still at the top of the leader-board on the All Blacks Roadshow web site.


Well you cant go to an All Black game at Carisbrook Dunedin without a banner, so outside we venture to make our Banner. What a ripper!!! We all had a go at writing on it, with pride... Then hello, before you know it, it was time to get ready for the game. The tatoo's came out, the Black supporters clothes went on and we were finally ready. We had front row seats, right under the posts, it was a sell out stadium, and the crowd was just wild. The girls loved it!!! I was so glad they did. It was a fantasic night, they loved it and Mike loved it too. He can now say he has been to his first All Blacks Rugby game. It was certainly a moment in time to remember.

Tania was in the spotlight this time, and this time for the whole of New Zealand to see. Yep, a close up of Tania, plastered across the t.v at the live broadcast of the rugby game. Fantastic!!!
Well it was a great week for all of us. And I loved it!!! I'm sure Dunedin didnt know what hit it.
