State of Origin - Game 1

Took my oldest Kate and her cousin / my nephew Alex to the State of Origin last night. Great game in which NSW won by a single point but the biggest joy was seeing the kids have a great time.
Alex is a very keen football fan, but this was only his 3rd game live and the first time he had ever been inside Stadium Australia. His two earlier visits to the football were to Penrith Stadium, which is a quarter of the size. The kids had both had their hair spray painted blue for the occaision and had the big blue fingers as well.
They shouted themselves hoarse all game and were really into the game. When NSW kicked the field goal, they were jumping up and down screaming. Also, we were at the good end of the ground in terms of the tries as they were all scored in front of us.
Happy days!

The Big Hands are nice...weird that they BOTH mutated on their first skill roll ;-)

yeah, you should have spread out the mutations a bit... maybe given Kate spikes or claws or something.

j/k, Clay, those are some seriously cute kids, glad you all had a great time. : )
