Gala Day

We went to the local gala today. We set off early to find a good spot to watch the precession but we got bored waiting and had a bit of fun making scary faces - it was hilarious!













We had fun watching the different floats go by, it was a bit like an exhibition of extra curricular activities, Cameron's favourite was the boys football float because they were being rowdy and shouting football chants.
We wandered along the canal to the park where the funfair was. It was really noisy and overwhelming but Cameron coped really well. He went on the tea cups first



then hooked a duck and won a goldfish (who has been named Super Fisher and will be shortly appearing in a Camix comic)



Next was a spaceship ride which had a handle for him to decide when to go up and down



After that we wandered around a bit looking for Grandma and cousins but couldn't find them so Cameron chose to go in the fun house (now known as the NOT fun house). Cameron doesn't do escalators or anything like that so the fun house was a big challenge. There were several points where I thought I was going to have to go in and rescue him as he was screaming but he managed to get out OK in the end! No pics of that as it was too traumatic.
Lastly he ummed and ahhed over whether to choose ice cream or candy floss for a treat. Ice cream won out and it was a fancy whippy machine that swirls the sauce into the ice cream.



We usually avoid this kind of thing but we had a good day in the end. A short and sweet visit seems to be the solution.
