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
