We were fortunate enough to go to the Royal Melbourne Show yesterday. Buying your tickets in advance and taking advantage of some of the offers certainly helped us out. That way we got discounted entry and $80 worth of ride tickets for the kids.
This year we headed to the farmyard nursery earlier in the day and were not confronted by the massive crowds which had turned us off in previous years. Having a few calves, kids and lambs wandering around the assembled throng was a novelty, and I hope the animals weren't too stressed.
The boys enjoyed the roller coaster and log/flume ride the best and Lily enjoyed the jumping castle/slide thingy!
The day after AFL Grand Final day is DEFINITELY the busiest day, but short of taking a days leave I couldn't go any other day - and I wasn't being left behind! And just as we were heading for the car, we detoured via the woodchop stadium to see the last event for the day. I would dearly have loved to see more of the woodchop, but you can't have everything :)
I firmly believe the way to see the show as an adult is to take the kids on one day and leave them at home another day while you go again and see all the things the kids can't be bothered with. Maybe next year.
