Sportsman Max

We were staying in Canberra with Bec and Max three weekends ago to celebrate his 11th birthday and, while there for a few days, we saw him take tennis lessons and play rugby league. The latter has replaced soccer as his main winter game.

These pictures provide a sample of what we saw, but let's start with a birthday photo. I've already noted Max's like of ethnic foods, which because apparent when we celebrated his second or third birthday some years ago held in a sushi bar. Well, this time we dined in a Vietnamese restaurant near where Emily used to live in Page, a Canberra suburb.


The tennis coaching session was held in poor weather: cold and misty as the pictures suggest. In these shots Max is returning shots back cross the net - and in the first you can just the yellow streak of a ball on the right.



The weather cleared for league fixture, but a failed to get any action shots of Max running with the ball or scoring a try. Here he is standing on the left.


And watching the ball on the ground during a warm-up session.


But another team did turn up, and here's Max a long way from the ball!
