Here are some more pics from our beloved
Ekka. Today we made sure we got in there early and went straight for the animal nursery - a pavillion that is extremely popular with young and old alike so the queues are normally out the door. Thankfully at 9am we got to go straight in and spend a good 1/2 hour ...... it was fantastic. Photos didn't come close to capturing the hilarity of Charli girl pulling a goat's tail as he went past or when she grabbed some hay out of my cup to feed the animals and then got mobbed by 2 lambs and a butting goat.... it was hilarious!! Times like that video is in order!!
We lent charli girl's hat to my neighbour so she wore my cap (I scored a free one from the
RACQ people at the Ekka...... the brim is a little too big no? :)
And inevitably it was all too much by 11am and a quick kip was in order.... I wished at that point that I could curl up in the grass and have a sleep too as I was exhausted......
charli looks like she's levitating in that first one. freaky child.
ReplyDeleteThe EKKA looks like fun... in the 6 years of living in Brisbane I never made it to the EKKA!!! May be we'll have to fly over next year.
ReplyDeleteCharli girl has grown so much, what are you feeding her?
On the other "point of interest" (vis-a-vie your PhD)... big news!!! Not sure if congratulations is the right thing to say - so good luck :)
We're in our last week here in the UK; time flies hey. Will phone once in Oz... love to the family.
Claire (and John says hi) xxx

ReplyDeletemum was desperate to find someone as eager as herself to go to the ekka with. i should have suggested she give you a call.
