Easter Show 2013: rides on our OWN????

So brave this year, on the rides all by ourselves!

We started at 9.30am, left at 7.30pm and saw everything we wanted other than the sheepdogs. That included chicken washing, grain dome where we ground the wheat to bake the pies, cow milking, sheep shearing, precision driving team, freestyle motocross, woodchopping finals Aus v NZ (yay Aus), and the rodeo!  Mum and Dad decided we should bail when it started raining - apparently the fireworks wouldn't work in the rain...

Easter show: added bonus

Post showbags hall - and post life-saving cup of CWA tea!

Easter Show 2013: our choice

Easter Show 2013: animal nursery

Like years before, much of the magic at the Easter Show for 2013 was in the animal nursery.

Our last family fun day

We were invited back to North Brighton Preschool for family fun day today - our last :-( It was great to see old friends (including teachers), and Mum managed not to cry. Are we really as crazy as we look???
