It was a gorgeously sunny day, perfect Show weather.

Savannah was very excited to see a Sizzler stall at the Show. They were raising money for the Make a Wish Foundation – you simply made a donation in exchange for a couple of slices of freshly cooked Sizzler cheese bread. It was piping hot and tasted just like the real thing you get at Sizzler.

We each had an ice cream cone – this was Jac’s strawberry. The kids had bubblegum flavour (not pictured).

This was my lemon gelato, which was smooth and tangy. Max tried it and then kept asking to have more. :)

When I grow up, I wanna join the Pancake Police. Heheheheh.

There were animals on display as usual – guinea pigs and rabbits, mostly – and a stall devoted to koi. These were the biggest ones I’ve seen in a long time. Jac and I both said the same thing – “Shame they’re no good to eat” (so we’ve been told)!

Of course, there are all sorts of rides, if that’s your thing.

There was a lot of screaming coming from the Nitro.

Jac and Savannah went on the Wave swinger, while Max and I watched from below. It took a long time for Jac and Savannah to get into their seats. As it turned out, a little old lady on the ride before them had been sick, and the ride guys had to get a bucket of soapy water and a brush to clean it up.

Savannah and Max went on this dragon ride. It seemed like the shortest ride ever, though. The track isn’t very big, and I think it only went around 2 or 3 times.

Jac and the kids all enjoyed slushies.

We checked out the art and crafts and tasted six different kinds of honey. We also looked at the baking – cakes, pies, muffins and so on.

I rather liked the look of those slabs of orange cake.

Lots of eggs on display, most with bright orange yolks.

A variety of jams and spreads – lots of lemon butter, it seemed!

This is what champion vegetables look like. I hope they taste good, too.
