Family Camping July 2008

July 2008 saw a few of Aarons Great Aunts & Uncles visiting for a camping trip in Llangollen. We all had a great time. Including Aaron nana Dot. It saw many laughs bringing us all to tears at times. Aaron played football with his great Aunt Carol. Was chased and harressed by his great Uncle Ron with his great Aunty Val intervening at times. All the dogs joined in as well. Billy didnt stop laughing at the jokes and sarcastic comments all the oldies were coming out with. Aaron & I had a great time we went walking and came across a magical place called the fairy glen. Here we ventured over bridges, stepping stones, through streams and through the woods. Fred our naughty dog dragged me in the mud landing on my bum. Photo of Fred above eyeing up a duck for tea. It was also nice to hear of Alan & Joan our looking for a house in the area. Also June and Bernie spend most of there time up here now. Its nice having family around us.

It was the Speke Air show in Liverpool over the weekend. The 3 of us went to the show with Billy`s mum, sister & nephew Dillon. We also met up with friends there. We looked inside an old plane, army helicopter etc. There were displays by the American classic car club, land rover 4x4 club, fire engines, police, old buses & plenty collectors stalls to look around. There were also flights available for experiences in old vintage planes and a helicopter. We met up with some of Billy`s friends before retreating to McDonald's ( nagging children ). We stayed at Billy's mums the night to watch the cup final before heading home in time for school next morning.

West Midland Show June 2008

It was a very windy day in June. We visited the west mid show. It was a big show in one marque there were samples of local food produce. We looked around the stalls and the exhibitions. We then visited the large animal arena coming across a huge bull, he as lovely never seen a bull son big. He didn't win best in show a Hereford bull took 1st he was also really nice. We then looked around the other animals sheep and more cattle.

We looked around the large farm machinery, horses and old steam traction engines before sitting next to the main arena for lunch also to watch the shows listed below under there own blogs spots.

Afterwards we had another look around the stalls. We then had a bit of a scare. We were in the craft tent when a huge gust of wind came. The huge marque snapped at the rear and flew into the air knocking stalls over and two children from the stools were they were having there hair braided. People screamed i grabbed Aaron's hand and quickly made for the exit as the marque was being quickly evacuated. To calm me down Billy took us for real dairy ice scream and sat us in the stands. We all came home and watched the euro championship football. Dispite the wind we all had a lovely day out.
