Today is Good Friday and it brings with it an old and new family tradition.
Good Friday is the start of the Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race, which leaves from Shorncliffe. Growing up, my father and his family would gather on the Sandgate foreshore to watch the boats sail off across moreton bay and have a picinic.
This tradition continued when I was growing up and we have continued to it with our children. These days we tend to miss the boats as we are participating in what has become a new family tradition.
Danny's mum works at the local Freemason's home. Every Easter they have "Henny Penny Chicken Hatchlings" Danny's mum does the morning shift, so since having the kids, every Good Friday we head up to Freemason's near knock-off time to see the chickens. Danny's mum get's to show the grandkids off to her residents (they love it when little ones come in) and the kids get to hold a little chick.
