After dropping Shannan Ponton off to the hotel for a bit of rest and relaxation before preparing for the night ahead Lisa and I headed home to spend a bit of time with our little girl.
Left her at Nan’s all day and they were both as happy as to see each other again.
After kitting up for the Xceler8 Gala Ball we headed in early so we could sit with Shannan and have a quite drink before the onslaught of people arrived to see Shannan Ponton and lose him to the crowd for the night.
The night was a huge success with money being raised for a few local charities so well done again guys.
The night saw us dancing and singing away ( and the occasional drink of course, thanks Kerry).
Shannan Giving a Speech at Xceler8 Gala Ball
Must say we got away fairly unscathed, and didn’t even wake up with a hangover ( bonus)….
Shannan asked for us to come in early and have breakfast with him so he could meet our little girl before I put him back on a flight to Sydney only to stay for 1 hour and then back on a plan to Adelaide for the city to bay run ( the life of a celebrity). I wasn’t aware that he was so into kids and him and my little girl really hit it off. I reckon she was quite happy to hang with him all day.
Hanging with Shannan Ponton
Life is tough at this age I must say.
As always it was great to catch up with Shannan. Hope to get him to Canberra soon for a tour of our Canberra Boot Camps. You never know who might show up one day….
Scott Williams, proud father
