the Warracknabeal Local show.. but only!!!
I really believe that you can't beat a good old country show! The ladies that bake for a week, grow flowers, vegetables and knit, just for the glory of winning at the show. Sheaf tossing, shearing.. all good old country stuff! All of the poultry lined up, and ribbons hanging from cages. The work that the school kids do, just for the show as well!!! they must do it for the glory, because the $2.00 prize money isn't enough to suck me in!
And the carnies... they are special... really special...
Kids had fun, but Hugh had enough and cried all of the way to the car.. asleep even before we left the carpark!
The funniest thing I saw all day was the "Little Miss and Master tiny Tot" - the stage mothers where priceless!!!!!!! Totally!! And the mutterings from the crowd! "She had a nicer dress on in Murtoa..." "She cried her lungs out last year.." and the mothers trying to get the kids to do bows from the sidelines... I hereby announce that my children will NEVER step foot on that stage!!! couldn't do it to them! And we all know that they would win.. and that wouldn't be fair to the other kids :)
Choices: I had morning tea (fruit) at home before we went and then I just ate a steak sandwich there.... no dagwood dog for me!!! No Donuts, no fairy floss... just one steak sandwich and a coffee... I also did 20 minutes quick exercise before I left.. just cos I had the time!

Hi there!
I am just using the estimates on calorie king as a guide... I feel near enough is good enough! Thanks for your comment!

I too could NEVER enter any of my children in a show like that.... I could not stand the cattiness and backstabbing that goes on! And like you, my beautiful children would have won and so what was the point? LOL. Good on you for making excellent food/exercise choices.. planning is the key... and following through.
I'd have not been able to resist the dagwood dogs - so wrong and yet so right.
Sounds like you had a great time!
and made some good choices too
You've got to love a stage mum - sounds like a great day.
