Today is the day...the royal day that I get to write about our royal adventure to the ROYAL CANBERRA SHOW...aka...the big fair!
Step right up to the greatest fair on Earth!
Rides Galore
Animals by the dozens
Free face painting (Destiny as a princess)
Addi Cat
Horse showing
A cockatoo
Riding in the BIGGEST Ferris Wheel we have EVER seen! ***We have been watching them put the rides up for a couple of weeks. Every day we drove past, Destiny and I would talk about the Ferris Wheel. Inevitably, Destiny started calling the whole fair by the name of "Ferris Wheel" i.e. "Are we going to the Ferris Wheel today?" Anyways, it turns out the Ferris Wheel costs 30 dollars for a family of 4. Did we ride it...yes...only because we had been talking about it for weeks! Was it worth 30 dollars...I'll just say this...Destiny and Addi LOVED it!
Stopped on the top...you could see EVERYTHING!
The 30 dollars was a "family DISCOUNT!"
Destiny got to go on her very first rides.
A police 4 wheeler.
Bouncy Cars
Tea cups
Boring Boats
Matt trying on a fancy hat
An older woman wearing a "fancy hat"...yes, it is a chicken in a nest...yes, I took a picture!
Woolies display of fruits and veg. They gave away little carry bags, a pear, children's aprons and a little cooler bag.
We found out that Aussies play with their food...how interesting.
We also found out they sell "different" food than in the States. 
We tried an egg and bacon roll that was SO yum! White bun, fried egg, and fried bacon.
Milkshakes are super runny (practically just milk) but tasty!
Notice the Tea or Coffee! Even if it is 90 degrees outside, people will order hot tea here! There is just nothing quite like afternoon tea!

We also found out they sell "different" food than in the States. Dagwood Dogs = Corn dog or Crusty pup
Fairy Floss = Cotton Candy
Waffles = hard rolled waffles (think waffle cone) with cream squirted inside them
Chips = fries
We tried an egg and bacon roll that was SO yum! White bun, fried egg, and fried bacon.
Milkshakes are super runny (practically just milk) but tasty!We also had organic donuts! That's my kind of health food :)
Hot waffles are also quite popular served with ice cream or whipped cream and other fruity toppings.
Notice the Tea or Coffee! Even if it is 90 degrees outside, people will order hot tea here! There is just nothing quite like afternoon tea!So that was our day at the fair! We had a BLAST!
Enjoy today!
