After our trip to Laidley we came back for a Footy Finals that Widget was in. As parking can be a premium (footy and park in the same area) we went early which worked in well as we could have a wander around one of the main parks.
This coming week is the main time we get visitors to the city and there is competition gardens as well as the parks.
This one is Queens Park
Of course we had to have a picture on the butterfly seat....
The flower beds are just so full of colour.....
Michelle took some lovely pictures so I have 'borrowed' them....
The heavens suddenly opened up and we had to quickly find some shelter. Stood under a tree and got hail and pouring rain (lucky we had umbrellas but that didn't help the rivers forming in the pavement)
We worked our way towards a toilet block where there was better shelter .... gosh it just really came down and was still raining when we made our way to the stadium and luckily found seats that were covered.
We did feel for the boys who were slipping and sliding, hard to see but there is big puddles at their feet. They all got soaked and it was pretty cold. Widget's team won but it was very close.... He went on to play again for the U17 (he is U16 team) and they won too... so 2 medals in one day. A very pretty girl threw her arms around him so I guess he is moving on in life!!!
Got back home and had hot showers and a good sleep that night!
Righto, Gotto Go..... we have an English grandie-boy coming to work in Australia but will stay with us for a while... need to make up a room for him.... very exciting

Good on Widget and his teams on their wins.
Oh a pretty girl , lucky Widget.
The garden is gorgeous. Such a beautiful flower display.
Getting caught in the rain is no fun at all.
