Canberra Show

I've always loved the Canberra Show and last week end we had the pleasure of taking the boys! We'd driven past the showground a few days before it started and we could see all the rides being set up - this just helped to fuel Jett's excitement (not that he needed any extra fueling!).

We had a great time there - we saw heaps of animals (rabbits, ducks, guinea pigs, rabbits, goats etc) and as it is an annual tradition, I had a photo taken of the boys holding some baby ducks.

We went into the Art and Craft pavillion but pretty much walked straight back out - that stuff doesn't interest us a whole lot. Jett went on the dodgem cars with Jimmy - Ollie watched and thought it was the greatest thing. I took them both down the giant slide but Ollie wasn't so sure about that one - I got a bit of air on the last bump and we landed at the bottom with a bit of a thud!

I'm not a big fan of showbags but we had to buy one for Jett (they're so expensive and we thought that seeing as Ollie wouldn't know he was missing out, we didn't buy him one) - he picked out the Diego bag which came with a bunch of plastic junk (back pack, lunch bag, rescue ranger vest, hat etc) that he's already forgotten about but he was so excited at the time. After looking through his showbag he looked at Jimmy and I a bit upset and said "But there's no lollies in here!" so of course, we then had to buy a bag with lollies in it. Ollie didn't miss out altogether though - he had a huge softserve ice cream which went just about everywhere. Between having to lick the melting ice cream off both the boys cones, I probably ended up having more ice cream than the two of them :)

Here's a gorgeous pick of the two boys on 27 February 2010
