A little bit of cuteness!!

Our Ella Bella having fun in her playgym and discovering toys are great for eating!

The toy has a ring on the end which she loves to chew!



How can you not but smile with her!?! (melt.....) 
She just charms the pants off anyone she sees! 
We are so very blessed to have such a happy, easy going baby!

Agfest!

After much discussion (and very little persuasion on my part) we (being Larry and I) made the decision to trundle up to Carrick for Agfest this year. Each time we had driven past the signs in previous years, we made the comment that we should go.

What is Agfest? It's a rural/farming type show organised and run by Tasmania's rural youth association. It's not your 'traditional' show, there are no side show alleys, no rides, no show bags (there are plenty of crafts on display and for sale though, but no competition displays). It's very much a display of all things agricultural (machinery, livestock, hardware, sheep dog trials, equine 'stuff' and camping/outdoors type stuff - caravans, camper trailers, boats). It's difficult to explain, but I'm sure if you google it you'll find the relevant site and get the gist of what I'm trying to say.

The highlight of the boys day (apart from jumping in muddy puddles, well, mostly just mud) were the tractors and machinery! Q was spoilt and treated to a 'helihopter' ride/flight with Larry (Sebastian didn't want to go). We bought plants (bulbs), we found samples of chook and dog food, we ate good (people) food, we walked and walked and walked some more! The pram (which we finally got fixed last Monday) was (and still is) caked in mud. We were caked in mud and slightly weary by the time we got back to the car. We were privy to a spectacular sun set as we drove home (yes we got there about 10am and left about 5pm).

So here are a few of the photo's we did actually take on the day (not very many, we were too busy looking at everything).

Having a sit on the kid size John Deere tractors!
They would have loved to take them home but at 
$400+ a pop, I don't think so..... :o 

Waiting for the helicopter to land!

Slightly excited!!



The view from the air 
(I think that's the town of Carrick you can see).

Two someones enjoying themselves
(it was over far too quickly though)!!

Spectacular sunset to cap off a great day!

 So ends another update! I will (hopefully) post a few pics of Miss E (seeing as she didn't feature in any of the above) a little later.

Til then...........
