showing off

The Royal Show was back in Perth and on Monday, I went along to: see farm animals, avoid stepping on animal waste, scam free samples, choose showbags, admire fireworks, waste money at sideshow alley, give out tracts, walk continuously, pay ridiculous amounts of money for food with minimal nutritional value, brave the crowds, squeeze into public transport and at the end of it all, look forward to doing it all over again next year!

Highlights this year? The animals... They are sooooo cute! They make me want to not eat meat for maybe 3 minutes. The Ikea showbag! Getting your photo printed onto the front of an Ikea catalogue, chocolate and a very cool stuffed turtle - all for just $5!! Winning a big teddy at Sideshow Alley after just one game of pump-the-tennis-ball-into-the-hole-to-make-your-bear-climb-up-the-pole! I concentrated on making that tennis ball go into the hole and after a while I heard a bell ring and Julia and Co yelling 'Wooo!' and I was awarded with a pick of the stall - I couldn't go past the bear cleaning his ear with a q-tip!

Here are some photos...

cute piglets
