Wellington, New Zealand, Upper Hutt Town Hall actually.  Our first competition.  Nerves (will we hit the weight limits), and hunger (c'mon the Snickers bars), and nerves again (I have to get on stage in these budgie smugglers, you have to be kidding), and more nerves (Vanessa, "I hope I don't fall off these damn heels, why don't you have to wear them")...

Anywho, here's some photos from the big day out, courtesy of a click happy nephew.  Over 700 photos the madman, he's still recovering from the RSI at Wellington hospital, flowers and chocolates welcome...  Especially the chocolate, you can send that via me...

Don't panic though - all 700 photos are not here - he did get 3 good ones, starting with the best...

And not forgetting his better half who also clicked away and got a fleet of photos too - the figital age, gotta love it eh?  Espically with the 'machine gun theory', if you fire enough shots, eventually you will hit something...  It works for me anyway!

OK, so it's not a photo of us, but did someone have a little too much protein last week...?!?

From the ministry of funny faces - a double biceps and a lat spread - I hate the lat spread!

A Vanessa bicep pose, and then the start of her routine, from my favourite angle!

Now those are abs!  Then the first trophy for the mantel!

Couples time - my favourite part of the night, no pressure, all fun!

Serious stuff this - and at last, some smiles!

That's a smile too, sort of - I'll claim it anyway, two!
