Emily and Cameron have numbers

With Candace's folks flying in from the depths of a Canadian winter we decided we needed to get some numbers! Wellington's round the bays fun run/walk regularly attracts over 10,000 entrants, and was only a couple of days after Ian and Lesley's arrival, perfect.

It wasn't going to work driving down as there was going to be no parking in Wellingtown, so on to the train. Problem with that was that the trains didn't quite match the event start; it was either be there an hour too early, or "right on time" An hour early wasn't going to cut it with two kids, plus the train would be departing at ridiculous o'clock.

We picked the "right on time" train and arrived late, got semi organised at the train station and arrived near(ish) the start to hear the start gun going off, and found ourselves at the back of the crowd below.

Time for a pre-start photo.

We were on our way jostling for position will all the other strollers at the back, however Cameron had other ideas and was super ready for breakfast number five. We parked up at a convenient beach side spot, with seating for the Cameron feed and a park for Emily to do some climbing and sliding.

Watching the tail end charlie ambulance roll by gave us a reference on our position within the race.

Back on the road the goal became to chase down the tail end charlie.

Nearing the goal.

Then finish line fever before the line up to get a bus back to town, then the train, then the car, then home. Long day out.
