Boys & their Toys

We decided to take the kids to the royal show this year - perhaps a bold move... It turned out to be an OK day with some negatives and positives. The positives: both kids really enjoyed seeing all the animals and they are still too young to know about show bags so it was a relatively inexpensive outing. The negatives: Aiden wasn't interested in looking at anything else except the animals and Megan is now too old to sit in a pram all day but at a place with so many people it is difficult to let her do her thing on the floor...

Aiden did, however, particularly like the motorbike display (photos on the right) and after seeing them he stopped asking to see more animals and instead kept asking to see more motorbikes...

We also managed to get Aiden onto one of the rides (photos on the left). He has always been a bit weary of rides and things that move under him so we get rather excited when he shows interest in these things. Anyway, he thought the truck ride was pretty cool and the big grin on his face in all the photos proves it!
