Hurry! Hard!

Remember the days when sleeping in on the weekends meant 9:30/10 o'clock? Nowadays, 8:30 is something special. You see, Riley and Cameron have joined the Little Rocks at the Omemee curling club and that starts bright and early at 9 on Sundays. They've just finished week four and I'm fairly certain that Cammy's on his way to the Brier and Ri's not far from competing at her first Tournament of Hearts. Alright, so there's a chance I've been blinded by motherly pride. I'm not too sure. I do know, however, that they're having a darn good time.

After three weeks of lessons and practice, they got down to business yesterday and played a game. Turned out to be quite a nailbiter. On end two, Cammy, playing for the blue team, was shot rock - good for one point. The crowd (aka Mum) went wild. On the third end, Ri, skipping for the red team, took out two rocks. Unfortu
nately, the rocks belonged to the red team. Did I mention this is only the fourth day out? Anyhoo, they're having fun out on the ice. It is a long winter, after all.

That's Cammy sweeping in the middle.
Did I mention he wears his blue
timbits shirt to school everyday?


There's Ri - lining it up.

You're not going to turn into one of those "Curling Moms" are you?

They may have to escort you out of the building during the tournaments.

Nah. I'm too straight for that.
