Easter Show 2015

My friend and I went to the Easter Show when it was on. It's a yearly thing here in Australia. It goes for 2 weeks and it's an agricultural show, so there are thousands of animals, heaps of food, displays, show bags, arts and crafts, and so many things to buy. It was such a great day, even though it poured when we got there. We got completely soaked and had to buy plastic ponchos! Fortunately the rain eventually stopped and we got to see everything we wanted!
*screaming*
*more screaming*
*mouth is open but only dogs can hear the noise I am emitting*
So, each year they have a dog section and there are different dogs shown each day. We were there on the Golden Retriever, Rhodesian Ridgeback, and Italian Greyhound day. The Italian Greyhounds were cute, but I am a sucker for big dogs. I love how goofy big dogs are (just look at Amos), so I was so excited to see two beautiful big breeds!

So pretty

Goats are hilarious to me
Tiny pompoms? NOPE! Tiny chicks! Eep!
We saw some hatching! I've never seen that before
Snazzy duck hair dos
Is this not the most disapproving goose you've ever seen?

The animals are the best at the show. They have this big petting area, they also have horse, sheep, pig, and cow competitions. Rabbits and cats as well, but they only show one of these a day, I'm assuming because rabbits are prey animals and they can't have cats near them or they might die of shock (not even joking, this can happen with little fluffies). It's so great seeing all the animals and smelling the farm-y smells - I love it. 
Ferris wheels are so pretty but they scare me
They have cake decorating competitions! This was my favourite
And of course, so much food! This was my extremely healthy lunch (hey, it has fruit on it!)

Bonus photos, me meeting a Golden Retriever! This guy was with one of my brothers colleagues and he told me to find her! Her husband let us meet the dog and I thought I was going to cry! He was so cute and I fell in love. It was such a great day! <3 <3 <3
 
Take care!

The Sydney Royal Easter Show 2014

My eldest brother and I went to the Royal Easter Show last week. I've been a couple of times, but it's always different. We went because we wanted to see the dogs on show and the farm animals. I took a few photos on my phone, so there aren't many and they aren't the best quality, but I still wanted to share :-)
The farmyard area was our favourite part as you could pat a million goats and sheep and also buy cups of food to feed them. It was so nice seeing all of the kids excited about animals. These sheep were standing on the gate and it made me laugh! 
Little baby goats were my favourite! Look at his little hooves. Glenn and I kept trying to find animals that didn't already have 5 kids trying to feed them, it was difficult but we managed! So cute! 
Glenn feeding a sheep - I think this one was the jerk who kept kicking smaller animals out of its way so it could get to the food haha
I love cows. They have the sweetest faces and seem so gentle. This one was big, but I think one of them was pregnant and holy crap she was GIGANTIC. I was surrounded by kids and didn't want to hog the area too long so I didn't get a chance to get a photo of her.
Check out this little guy!!! His little legs were so cute.
Our second favourite place was the dog area. There were HEAPS of dogs but the St Bernard's were my favourites. Look how cute this little guy is. He's only a puppy and pretty much bigger than Amos! 
And then there was this one too! Look at how big his paws are! I just wanna smooch that face and let him slobber all over me. I love slobbery dogs (I love all dogs). 
Glenn pretty much forced me to try cheese on a stick. It was disgusting, but in a delicious way? 
And of course I got show bags! This one has six inside of it, so it was pretty good value. I also had to buy my niece and nephews bags and lugging them home on the train wasn't fun, but seeing their faces when they go through them will make it worth it! 

Have a good day!

Easter Decor 2014

Good morning! I am a big fan of decorating the house for different celebrations, so I thought I would share my Easter decorations today! I haven't got many (unlike my house at Christmas!), but I am still happy with them. 
I bought this basket from the Reject Shop for a couple of bucks and filled it with shredded pink paper to hold up the bunnies. I bought the Lindt carrots because I thought they would look cute (and they do!). 
I also got this at the Reject Shop for $2! It's so cute!
And the only other thing I have is this jar that I added some sparkly washi tape too and filled with Easter eggs. I also have another bunny standing with it. 

So there are only a few bits and pieces, but they still make me smile and you can't go wrong with chocolate! I also had a little chicken that I put with the jar of eggs....
but as you can see Violet took a liking to it!

If you celebrate Easter, I hope you have a nice time with your family and friends. If you don't celebrate Easter, I hope you have a nice 4 day weekend!

-clear out bathroom cupboard/drawer and organise them
-organise chest of drawers so that I can get stuff out of them
-see family for Easter
-eat chocolate
-bake cookies
-organise some new blog posts
