Birthday, Ballet & Show Day!

Thank you to everyone for your lovely birthday comments!!

I had a fantastic day. We had 16 people at Sunnyside for the day & it was so much fun! I really enjoyed my day (& the whole weekend). We did a big breakfast BBQ outside for breaky - bacon/eggs/baked beans/onion/toast & Dave's special apple muffin cake!

My friend & her mum also made a special birthday dinner! YUM!

Mud cakes for the birthday cake - delicious!

Sunnyside actually turned into a caravan park for the weekend (we were joking about the extravagent fees!!!LOL) We had 3 caravans parked here & it was so much fun to go "visiting". Here's the handsome "caretaker"!
On Saturday the dance school Ellie attends for ballet had a display at the local show. Ellie had been counting down the days & she LOVED getting dressed up in her costume.


I was slightly concerned because we'd only been back for 2 practices (due to our holiday) & I wasn't sure how El would go, but put that girl in front of an audience & she performed - her whole class did really well - I think all the mum's were holding their breaths as it was most of the girls' first performances.



Trying to chose pictures without the other girls was difficult - a bit of cropping for these photos - sorry about the quality.

At the end a very happy girl!!

Doesn't the blue sky look beautiful - about 5 minutes later it started raining & we all ran for cover.

Since we were at the show.....well we thought we'd have a look around!

My favourite part would have to have been the poultry pavilion....no surprise there!

I got the phone number of a lady who breeds chooks & she said she'll have some ready for end of October (not that I'm counting the days or anything LOL) - I think I know what I'm going to spend my birthday money on!!!

Zai & Dave had fun on the dodgem cars

The children were allowed one ride each & one treat each - Zai got rubber band guns & Ellie chose a wallet. It was only as we drove home that we realised Eli & Jud hadn't had either a ride or a treat - I bagged up a few sour worms each & they were happy!!! (Don't you love 3 year olds)!

Ellie had a ride with one of her favourite "uncles"!

(She was being jolted around a lot - I'm not sure if she'll have another ride for a while!)
Then the parents looked through more pavilions - I really enjoyed this & now have the idea to put some stuff in next year.

I think the kids had had enough!



Overall we had such a fun time!


"Hats off" to the show (even if Mum did forget about a ride for us!!)

I had such a fantastic birthday weekend.

We have more visitors coming at the end of this week as well, so I'll probably be absent for a while longer!
