A day at the fair!!

We went to the school fair at Daniel and Laurens School yesterday. The rain held off for the whole fair, which was good, and then when we got home ~ the heavens opened and we had a huge storm!!
At least we were able to enjoy the fair ~ and Lauren and Daniel had fun spending their pocket money.

Here is little miss Lauren enjoying riding a little bike in the play area that was set up at the fair!!
A huge smile as she whizzes by on the bike!!
Lauren demonstrating her skipping skills (she is excellent at skipping and would do it for hours on end ~ if she could!!)

More skipping........
Lauren decided that she did not want her face painted this year ~ there was a stall that was doing little girls make overs ~ with glittery eyes and lips and a glittery spray in your hair ~ and to finish it all off ~ a nail varnish too!! (a bargain for £1.50 I think ~ unfortunately they weren't doing Mummies!!)
A day at the fair would not be complete without a good bounce on the bouncy castle!!

I am afraid that there are no pictures of Daniel at the fair ~ as soon as we arrived, he asked me for his pocket money and then promptly disappeared with his friends, popping back every now and then to check in with me (and ask for more money ha ha !!)......when he did come back and stood still long enough for me to take a picture (he won a coconut on the coconut shire!!) ~ the battery ran out on the camera and the opportunity was lost!! BUT ~ he was there and he had a fantastic time ~ he especially liked the football game ~ where you had to try and score goals, the assault course and the stall where you got to smash crockery (????).

Lauren and I had some luck too ~ we won a bottle of lemonade and a bottle of bubble bath on the bottle stall and Lauren won a jar or smarties on the raffle stall ~ when she opened the lid of the jar ~ there was a £2 coin wrapped in tissue paper ~ so she was very pleased at that (for the jar stall ~ parents were given empty jars and asked to fill them with whatever they liked ~ we filled ours with a small note pad, a pen and pencil and some sweets!!~each jar then has a ticket placed on the top and and are placed in the jar raffle).

The children also had a hamburger (I decided to give it a miss ~ I cannot stomach greasy food since starting this diet!!! ~ which worked in my favour ha ha!!). Lauren had a good look at the book stall and bought herself a new book and Daniel bought me a litle set of tea light candles on the bric a brac stall (he is very sweet like that!!).

All in all it was a lovely day and we really enjoyed ourselves ~ I really hope that lots of money was raised and that the children will have their adventure play area very soon XX
