The one with the summer fair.

00:00

This 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.


We got to the fair and had a little wonder around first. The wrist bands were £3 each and lasted the whole day! Unlimited goes on rides and bouncy castles! That was an absolute bargain and without those, there's no way we'd have been able to afford it! We got an ice cream and then the boys spotted some friends from school. They went around in a big group and I kept my eye on them and wasn't far behind them. Harry would pretend he hadn't seen me and when I asked him to pose for picture I got the "I'm a grumpy teenager" look, haha. I promise, he was enjoying himself! Especially once he found some friends to hang around with.


I couldn't take many photos as I hadn't taken my camera (It was too hot to lug that around!) and my phone was -typically- dying.


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 also watched the dog show which was cool and also funny because a couple of the dogs were so excited to see so many people and other dogs, they just ran around the course doing there own thing - So funny and SO sweet! I actually think that may have been part of the "act" because it worked well, haha. Ellie won a rubiks cube on one of the tombolia type stalls. Charlie and Harry both won a balloon.. Sadly Ellie's blew away. Which she was upset about when we got home, bless her. I told her I'd buy a pack of balloons this week. Bless her.


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!

  11. I 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.

    Thank you for sharing with me at #CountryKids
