This week our readers looked at their own sports and hobbies as well as those of their children. Thanks to everyone who continues to share their experiences.
Agnus Kasprzak writes: I never really played sports when I was a child but I did grow up with a love of soccer and have many memories of watching the English Premiere League with my dad. Manchester United was our favourite team long before stars like Rooney and Ronaldo came on the scene - back then it was all about Eric Cantona and a young David Beckham thrilling the crowd. But it doesn't compare to the excitement of being there when my children started playing the game, cheering them on as they scored their first goal and being able to share a passion for the sport with them has been wonderful and it's nice to see that at least one of the goes for Manchester too ;)
Christine Rumley used some goodies from her recently won Jenni Bowlin prizepack to create the above layout! Her journaling reads: You kids started the "Aussie Hoops" basketball program at the ages of 4 and 6. So far you have played for 3 terms and your skills are developing rapidly. You look forward to going along every Saturday morning and you really miss it during the holidays. I started playing basketball when I was about 8 years old and it became a huge part of my life. I loved it so much that I ended up training, coaching or playing games almost every day of the week. It might not be basketball, but I really hope you both find a sport that you truly love. Some of my happiest childhood memories came from the sportsfield.
Heidi Barclay writes: I have based this layout it on my eldest's hobbie - we were fortunate enough to come down to Christchurch last year in March before we moved down in April and we were sooo lucky that she took these beautiful photo's of the Cathedral - something special for us to remember since both the earthquakes have destroyed it.
Finally, Rebecca Young’s layout reads: This Winter you've begun playing soccer for the first time. Your team is called "Rangers". You have training on Thursday nights and play on Saturday morning. By the end of the week you are very tired! I played soccer in Newman too, my team was called "Hearts." It was my first time playing too and I enjoyed playing on Saturday.
