all the fun of the fair

It was Lilah's first trip to the Country Fair and it certainly didn't disappoint. We had a smashing day packed with amusement rides, face painting, bouncy castles, a horse ride, candy floss and so much more. Colin and I would certainly not have received the parents of the year award though - we put Lilah on a dragon ride, one that she just barely skimmed the height restrictions. Well, lets just say it was very fast and it went up and down and around, kinda like a mini child style roller coaster! Colin and I looked at each other in horror once the ride took of, it was several seconds later when it came flying by us and we saw Lilah wasn't crying, that we breathed again. I admit at that stage we did snort a bit, at our own silliness and in relief! I think all the (older) children laughing and squealing around her may have saved the day. See the first picture below for the pictorial evidence of Lilah on the wild dragon ride, she did manage a wobbly wave on the fly by. The highlights of the day (for Lilah) were definitely the bouncy castle, the face painting and the candy floss. She had a lot of fun and we had a pretty tired little butterfly on the drive home! All the pictures from our day at the fair are here.
