May Fair


We took a trip to the local May Fair today - it was a fairly good day, though I think the fair isn't as good as it used to be - for instance, most of the so-called "crafts" weren't crafts at all, but just general merchandise, like garden sheers or books, which I find really uninteresting. However, there are several good things at the fair each year - one is a circus tent with lots of circus skills toys which the kids can play with (for free) - and in the afternoon, they do a great show with magic and tricks and jokes, which the kids love. Olivia, being Olivia, had to volunteer to be a "helper" - here she is in the end, having put a shaving foam "pie" in the face of the presenter (this was expected). Doesn't she look pleased with herself? Above, a photo of Liv on the bungee jump - there are more images of the day in my flickr album, though most of them are videos - there are even a few with Sarah and Alex, though most of them are Olivia, as she was the one who participated in things - she tried out the African dance workshop, for instance... Neither Sarah nor Alex will ever take part in anything - I guess we can tell which children take after which of their parents!
