Each year the Royal Show comes around and each year the kids have a pupil free day so they can attend. Each year Paul and I cringe at the thought of how much money it will cost us to take all the kids to the show. By the time you add up the entry, a showbag each, a ride each and don't forget food......well with 4 kids there is no chance it will be an inexpensive day. So, we bypass the event each year. The kids are great, they don't complain, but we give them good reason not to, it is a special family day! We may not go to the show but we do take them to TTP where they can each buy a toy for $20, get a chance to play on the games in Timezone and then we have some lunch together. It still costs us money but probably a third of what it would cost to go to the show. Cameron even exclaimed it was his "best day ever". Got to love Kids!!
Well Miss K, got a little more than a $20 toy! But we have only purchased 2 or 3 toys for her since she was born, so its not like we are spoiling her....this is what she got.....I mean, how could a mother resist such a cute 'girly' toy!!!
Look at the glee in this girls eyes! She loves it. She also loves to push it over! LOL!
I also took some pics of the boys this morning. I love it when I can get a few good shots of them. For some reason quite a few weren't in focus (I think I was too close to them, but I was trying to keep them out of the glaring sunshine!) Got this fantastic pic of Cameron which I can't wait to scrap!
Yes, Mr Ethan had to sneak his little mush into a few shots as well. He has been pulling some weird faces in his pics lately, so I was glad to get this more serious shot of him. And don't worry, Mr Poser himself got a couple of good shots in as well! I swear this boy could have been a child model, he just eats up the camera!
But wait.....there is more..... Yes I reeled off around 180 shots in 10 minutes this morning! Yes I am a little obsessive but hey, I am allowed!
These two just epitomise mishchief!!! They have the most innocent of eyes, but you can see all the mischief lurking behind that innocent facade!
OK here is a little photo collage i did, just because I think it is so cute!
I have been scrapping, but I still have to photograph the LO's I have done so you will just have to wait another week or so before I upload those! Have a great day!
Yesterday was such a beautiful day too take pics tpp i got a few of miss M as well.Great shots of the boys.take care Kerry xx

I agree that the show does cost heaps! I spent $450 at the show, but the last time I took them was in 2005. We got in, paid for food, I got them 4 showbags and most of $$$ was spent on rides. I think ended up going on like 10 each! They had a ball! I was in my element watching these boys go on all the teenager rides!!!!! So proud of them I was!!!
Lovin little Ms K! Love her pony! Give her a kiss and cuddle for me! Can't wait to see u and her again! I have lots of napkins for u :)
