Blast Time Again!

Beth's school once again held their summer fair in early May &, this year, Beth invited her friend Hope. Similarly to last year, there were displays by the local emergency services, raffles, games, inflatables (including a huge slide & assault course), carousel swings, snacks, & competitions (including the 'cake walk' which Beth & Hope both won a box of cakes on). Also like last year, it looked as if the weather was going to wash out the event, but by the time it started the Sun was brightly shining & the temperature was in the low 70's - absolutely perfect weather! The same balloon modeller was there again with an apparently increased repertoire of balloon models & even more jokes. It was really funny watching some of the parents being completely serious (because they couldn't tell if he was being serious) when he asked them what class they were in & what their favourite part of school was. We had just found out that afternoon that Beth had Pneumonia (after a mis-diagnosis by the local urgent-care centre earlier on in the week) so she was on prescribed medicine & was having issues breathing, so her & Hope didn't do too much running about (as this made Beth breathless), but she was still able to enjoy the fair, including the chocolate pie eating competition. Unfortunately, Beth's plate fell on the ground, so she didn't win the competition, but she had fun taking part & I was able to take the obligatory 'Beth covered in chocolate pudding' photo!
