The "Kids for Kids" concert at the Bruce Mason Centre was pretty good really. There were 450 children from various schools across Auckland in the choir, with Suzanne Prentice singing the solos. It was well done, and Kyla had a great time.
On Friday, Kyla took part in the Kiapara
Schools Triathalon. She chose to enter as an individual rather than as part of a team, and so she did all three parts herself.In the swim leg, she swam at a steady pace, but was not fast and was 3rd to last out of the pool.
On the cycling leg, she did well, passing several other competitors.
This left her in a good position, and on the run she passed more competitors to finish in 2nd place!Well done Kyla! (and she looked like she could have just kept on going for a while longer.)
After competing in the triathalon during school, she had her birthday party on Friday night. She chose to take a few friends to West Wave to the pool, and so they spent about 1 1/2 hours swimming and going on the hydroslide. Following this, we went across to West City for dinner. We gave the girls $10 each, and let them decide what to buy for their dinner. They had a lot of fun doing this. After dinner, they went for a short wander to look at shops, and eventually spent some change we had given them on lollies. They all seemed to enjoy the whole evening, and I think Kyla really enjoyed the freedom and feeling a little grown up.
On Sunday we got together with the extended family for Mother's Day, and to celebrate Kyla and Jayna's birthdays.
Kyla had a birthday cake which she kindly shared with Jayna. And so, Kyla is now 12! We are feeling a little old.
Oh, and they did all play soccer on Saturday again. 3 more wins, Braden's team won 6-0, Kyla's won 2-1, and Lauren's team also won, but I am not sure what the score was.
