It was
show weekend in town this weekend. There was squealing in the pavilion when we found out that Milly had got a first place for her entry in "4 - 6 year old drawing, any medium" plus a ribbon and prize ($20 gift voucher to local craft/stationary shop) for being "the best overall exhibitor aged 4 - 6 years". Go Milly!!!! Very proud. We are already thinking about what we can do next year, moving up into the 7 - 8 age category! I scored a 2nd for my Rainbow Squares quilt which I was happy with. I didn't take a photo of it as it was just folded up on the display, too big to pin out I think!
I was involved this year in the school's P&C committee, cleaning up the show grounds. So I was off doing that in the afternoon, turned around to look on the oval to find Milly had made her way into the grand final of the aged 6 and under Lawn Mowing Pushing Race! They had to push it under a bar and then around two poles and then dash across the finish line, she was excited to come in second and scored $15.00 for her effort. Which was immediately spent on the dodgem cars!
Grace joined in the Melon Olympics. You had too scoop out the flesh of two watermelons so you could wear them as shoes, walk down the slippery bit of plastic clutching a honey dew melon and throw it in a tub. Just for the fun off it! We are on school holidays now for two weeks and are off
here on Tuesday. Can't wait!!!

Way to go Millie, looks like fun was had by all!
Congratulations, talented family!!! I'm killing myself laughing over that watermelon shoe race - that is hilarious and I've never heard of anything like it. Must try it!!!
Congratulations! And how funny is that melon race!?
Congratulations to Millie! Well done! And to Grace too - can't imagine running in watermelon shoes! What a great day! Have fun on your trip!!
What a big day for your family - congratulations all round!
What a shame it wasn't hung - can't wait to see a pic with the binding on. Congrats on the prize, and Milly's drawing is great. Looks like a really fun day.
Well done girls, looks like a great time.
Sounds like you all had a great time.
Imaging to tell my boys about the Mellon Olympics. I want to see my teens playing ball with Mellon feet.
