This weekend has been full of summer activities. Saturday morning we biked over to Centennial Park for Slide the City. We had fun sliding down the giant slip and slide on our cheap tubes, plowing into strangers and also having strangers slam into us. It is not for the faint of heart. It was fun, but it would have been overpriced if I hadn't randomly won free passes from a radio station. Afterwards we did a short ride around the park, ran into some frisbee friends, and paid a visit to the local powerful owl couple.
Next it was off to Coogee Beach for our friend, John's going-away picnic. The weather was gorgeous, although a little chilly and windy. We played a few points of beach ultimate and mac line (another frisbee-based game), and ate too much cheese and crackers (or just the right amount) while chatting the hours away. We finished the night off with delicious pizza at La Spiaggia.
Sunday, despite an initial iffy forecast, was sunny and warm. We played some sloppy supball for the first time at Manly with some friends. It was a ton of fun and exhausting. Every one of us scored at least one point, had some good defensive moves, and made fools of ourselves falling off our boards. I like to think we gave the people sitting the beach some good entertainment. We followed it up with a yummy lunch and some brews at 4 Pines, where we had been before, and enjoyed just as much the second time.
In-between all those activities, Michael managed to slip in a few hours of birding, and he is now at frisbee practice. I don't know where he gets all his surplus energy; I'm looking forward to a nap and a mostly quiet rest of the day.
Happy weekend, everybody!
