Hurrah! It’s showtime in sunny Perth!

Can you think of a better way to spend a sunny Monday than taking a trip to the Royal Show? The tribe, the lovely Big A and I headed off bright and early this morning, with a solid list to 'to dos/ to sees in mind.  It went something like this... LIttle L - baby chicks (to cuddle of course) Flashdance - baby chicks (more cuddle time), and maybe some chocolate Captain Jack - pigeons and poultry pavilion (I still have no idea what inspired this!!) Mini-Fashionista - baby chicks (can you see a pattern here?), horses Me - the craft pavilion Big A - wood chopping and the horses Whew!  It's exhausting just to read, and add to that a REALLY hot day...and it could have all gone pear-shaped so easily. Oh, and add to that our own 'rules'. Big A and I decided that the show should be about reconnecting with the country (did you know about the Year of the Farmer? click here for more info http://www.yearofthefarmer.com.au/), seeing how food is made, having fun, and spending a day exploring as a family.  Oh, and no junk food.  Reading that back now it sounds a little 'preachy' doesn't it! Still, we decided to stand strong in the face of fairy floss, plastic filled showbags and loads of gadgetry/wizardry type stuff. Packed lunches and lots of water in hand, off we went to the show... The whole tribe had a cracker of a day, with everyone getting their fill of country fun!  In fact, everyone has such a good day, that I am pretty sure I will have to get some chickens soon, and maybe a Shire horse or two... Do you go the show?  What's your favourite thing to do or see? Enjoy xx
