2006 Royal Show

That swing!!! Just have a look at these ducks everyone! We decided on Saturday for our Royal Show visit and at the last moment Vicki & Trav decided to go as well so we met them at gate 9. (They had a long way to walk from parking and Vicki was pooped before we started. )However, we really had a great day. There were 2 farm animal sites and Caitlyn thought all the animals were lovely. We went through the sideshows and ooh'd and aahh'd at the rides which were new to us and very scary. We played the clowns, remember kids, we always played the clowns, and won enough toys to stock up at Oma's place as well as her own place. We had a cream waffle, take away chicken,drinks, rolls,hotdogs, as you do at the show. I bought 2 showbags but Vicki did not.We saw the grand parade and the NZ Army band which were great.Dogs were showing, non sporting breeds and we saw the hens and roosters and pigeons,as well as horses and cows. The day was beautiful and we had a lovely time. Caitlyn was a good girl and the other kids will get some money to buy a showbag when they go.
