It was one of those choices I daresay I’ll be faced with for some time to come: do I go to a family oriented event, or stay home and do some work?

In times past I nearly always chose the former. Not this year – this year I begged off going to the Show and so these pictures are courtesy of my sister-in-law.

Keira went declaring she wanted to go on a rollercoaster! Well apparently when she actually stood in front of them, one was too big and the other went through water. That was certainly not an option.

Brave girl

So she chose this ride, the kind with the over-the-shoulder harness. It is probably good I wasn’t there as I doubt I could’ve watched.

She went on it twice. The first time by herself.

Dangling legs

But you can see all their feet here.

But that wasn’t enough for Keira’s adrenaline chasing.

 

Big trampoline girl

Oh no.

 

There she goes!

In fact, the sky was the limit!

 

Riley on giant slide

And Riley liked the giant slide.
