The Fair

It has become a ritual that Louie and I hang out with Charlene and Lola on a Wednesday, the week before last we had an awesome morning at Go Kids Go, then headed back to theirs for a scrummy lunch. This week we decided to head to Abbey Park in our local town centre, for their annual fun fair.

There was a huge, raised bed sand pit for the littlies to play in, Mr Bee dived in, pretending to swim in the sand, they both liked to sit on the edge :)

Chillin'!

 Then we decided to treat ourselves to going on a few little rides with the babes. First we went on the big wheel, which was lovely and tame. We got stopped right at the top to let other customers on, so we managed to get a lovely view of the fun fair.

Mr Bee really enjoyed this ride, as it was nice and sedate. He did keep a hold of the bars for the whole ride though!
Then we thought we would give the little rollercoaster a go... we wished we hadn't! It was a bit rickety and jumpy. Lola and Louie cried for most of the way around :/

 Then we finished up at the fun fair by going on the 'Ski Lift' ride, which Mr Bee was itching to go on! It was just a nice spinning round ride, and Mr Bee was dancing to the music and giggling and clapping! Definitely his favourite.

 What is really lovely about Abbey Park is the small petting area which has some rabbits, goats and varieties of birds. Louie really liked the rabbit, and was doing his cack-handed sign of rabbit, I wish I could have gotten a photo, as it is pretty funny!

 There is an everso small play park in the petting area, and of course we were led to it by the little ones. Mr Bee shocked me by running straight to this toy, climbing in and rocking away. We don't have a toy like this in our park, which is why it was a shock that he knew exactly what to do.

Then we spotted a chinook helicopter over head, that seemed to move really slowly. Which was nice as the littlies got to see it for longer.
We had a lovely afternoon, and by the time we realised it was nearly tea time! We will take a picnic next time and make a day of it!
