Summer Fayre

The girls school had their annual Summer Fayre on Saturday. We were a little concerned it would rain but the rain held off until the end and we all had a great time. There are all types of things for the kids to do such as talking to firemen and checking out a fire truck, tie dying, face painting, hair salon, limbo and other games as well. There are sausages and ice cream to be eaten as well as fruits and vegetables to buy. As usual, Sofia put off eating to try different games and Ali headed off with Jason to find food. The school also brings in different vendors to sell things like books, bags, jewelry etc. The girls really enjoyed the day. Sofia decided to tie dye a t-shirt this year which was fun and she also tried to eat a donut hanging on a string. Both girls were very interested in the fire truck but Ali was too shy to try on the oxygen helmet. The Fireman was very friendly but he was a very large man so I wasn't surprised Ali wouldn't interact with him. I was surprised that Sofia didn't seem to have a problem though. Maybe she is growing out of that stage of her life. Both girls had their faces painted and their hair done of course. It was quite amusing to see so many little girls walking around with their hair crimped. Sofia was very excited for the crimping but Ali stayed with simple pig tails that were fancied up with ribbon. It was fun to see them interact with there friends as well as decide which things they wanted to do regardless of who was doing them. We all had fun and we were sad to have it end. We decided to keep the fun going though and we invited friends over for dinner. By the end of the night the kids were exhausted!
