May Day Gala 2011

Today was the May Day Gala at Thornes Park! Emily had so been looking forward to it and had plans to get her face painted, unfortunatly when we arrived it was heaving and the queues were crazy for the face painting so i tried to distract Emily to wait for the queses to go down.  She desperatly wanted to go on a bouncy castle for the first time which she has never fancied before so i let her go for it.  I could tell she wasnt too happy about it when the other kids started piling on, she has never much liked hustle and bustle  so she didnt stay on very long.

 She got really upset about the fact she wanted to goon the bouncy castle but didntlike the kids banging into her so i asked her if she fancied going on a ride with me instead.  I took her on the Twister, i really expected her to hate it and be begging me to get the man to stop but she loved it! The faster it went the louder she squaled with joy!  Poor Ben was trying his best not to squash Emily, the ride went on for ages too his arms must have been killing!

 The best part of the day both Emily and Hannah would agree was runnign about and dancing in the cordoned off area square in between the acts!

By the time we were heading home and the queses had dropped id spent all our money on rides on the twister and the mini waltzers so Emily ended up all upset again as she had her heart set on getting her face done, i felt really bad for her it was the main thign she had wanted out of the day and i really should have made more of an effort to push to the front of the queues :0(
