Didn't bring the skates? Not a problem. We've got huge parking lots... and the Baillie family simply took one over for Ball Hockey, right outside the main Lodge.
There were too many of them to count, actually, with the ball whizzing about. Spencer (9) and Nathan (4) were hard at work in the goalposts -- which had been lovingly marked with plastic drinking glasses!
Three generations, at least, were out there working the sticks and chasing the ball (bright green, it never needed the American network trick of tracing the puck with a weird blue light on television).
Too much fun! There was the occasional call from the doorway that it was 'just ten minutes until lunch', but nobody seemed to be paying much attention to that! There were goals to be scored!! -- but NOT if Nathan and Spencer had any say in the matter!
...a big thank you for putting us on your website... You know, that weekend that we spend at Bondi, with no electric devices all weekend, is the best time a family can have. We are so blessed.
