The one with the summer fair.
00:00This Sunday just gone, our village held a summer fair/fete. We have already been to one summer fete, to celebrate the queens 90th Birthday but this one we couldn't miss as it's literally five minutes walk from our house! The kids were SO excited! Even my teenager was excited - No, he doesn't look it in the photos because , well, he's a teenager and his constant face is "I'm a moody teenager and I'll never look happy even though I am" haha.
They all had many, many goes on the inflatables and bouncy castles etc. Ellie liked the Disney themed ones best, haha. As the day went on, it get busier and busier so we got a drink and a snack from the surrounding burger bars and food stalls! Which was surprisingly actually not over priced. And the kids got one of those refillable beakers, which worked out so much cheaper in the long run because it was £1 to refill with a slush puppy and they lasted AGES! Usually I wouldn't be impressed with the prices but honestly, they weren't bad at all!
We listened to some live music. There was a girl group who were 50s inspired but sang modern songs 50's style! They were "EPIC" - Charlie's words!
We stayed for a good few hours and then decided we'd come home and have pizza for dinner and prepare for school the next day! The kids slept SO well, they were all so tired.
It was a fab day!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great day and a bonus so affordable. I used to love these sorts of things as a child especially in good weather! Xx #binkylinky
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a wonderful day out. The dog shows are always funny, I love watching those.
ReplyDeleteI love summer fairs they're always so much fun, sadly we don't seem to have many in my town x
ReplyDeleteI love fetes and fairs. There's something special about them I think. Love how your teenager definitely looks like he doesn't want to be there haha teenagers ;) #BinkyLinky
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely day you had! I haven't been to a summer fair for ages, but they're always a really nice day out. x
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a great day! We live near many little villages and non 'do' a summer fete any more. I love the wristband idea - what great value. Kaz x
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had some amazing times :) I used to love summer fairs when I was younger. x
ReplyDeleteSo cute. Looks like you had a nice summer family day :)
ReplyDeleteI cant wait till my boys are older (although I want them to stay babies forever) so I can take them to summer fairs like this!
You can't beat a summer fair, they have so much to see and do - great fun for all the family #countrykids
ReplyDeleteI do love local events like this. It looks like this one had lots going on for all ages too and a decent day without the rain! Every sympathy with teens and photos, you'll notice mine as lacking in so many photos these days. Still if you can still get them coming out on family days you are doing well.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing with me at #CountryKids
OOh it looks like you had a great time with great weather x
ReplyDeleteMy little girl enjoys herself at these fairs too.It's a joy seeing them have fun.It's more fun for us when it's pocket friendly too!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a lovely day and the weather looked gorgeous, I have a stroppy teen too, 95% happy but that 5% is a pain ! x
ReplyDeleteAw so glad the weather was nice, I was once that stroppy teen aha it must be something in the air. It does not seem so long ago now and yes local events are great!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a kid, our local village used to have a massive fete - it went on for three days with a bit fair, competitions, races and all sorts. I have such fond memories of it!
ReplyDeleteWow II agree that this is a good deal and fair! Thats one ride in the last event here. I wish they thought of wristbands like that in here too!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun event for kids all ages! #countrykids
