Grandson Max seems to have plenty of energy these days and, during our recent visit to Canberra, his home turf, he provided ample evidence of his sporting skills. On the Saturday, he played rugby league for his team, the Sharks, and they had a good win. However, like a lot of young players, Max needs to hone his positioning on the field, better anticipate the opposition's moves, and run just that bit harder. Well, he's only 13 and these traits will no doubt emerge in due course. So here we are on the field before the game:
And here he is during the play, or more accurately during stoppages ... the only time I could easily identify him from the side-line and take a clean shot not blurred by fast movement ... my camera is only a basic model.
On the Sunday, we took part in quite a few activities, terminating in a trip to the Sky Zone Trampoline Park adjacent to the large Westfield shopping centre in Belconnen, one of Canberra's major suburbs. Max bounced around for perhaps 90 minutes or even longer trying to get airborne and practice some elegant somersault and cartwheel type moves. He found a school-friend and they had a great time together spending most of their time on the mats shown below rather than on other arenas like that dedicated to dodge-ball. I've seen this type of entertainment centre many times in the United States, but not before in Australia, as far as I can recall.
