Bye Bye 2011 hello 2012

Continuing on with traditions thought I'd reflect on 2011 like I had previously done with 2010 which ultimately gets me excited for whats to come in 2012!

So what was 2011 all about?

Christmas in Cooroy

The promise of a Santa race through the town of cooroy was too exciting to keep me away :P

For a small town it was all pretty cute and I stuck around the fireworks too!

Unfortunately though this is where the photos stop as my film came back blank for those fireworks shots...not sure what went wrong but I'm going to attempt some fireworks shots on Friday...hopefully with more success!

EKKA!

I braved the Ekka (Brisbane Exhibition) this year and it was super fun!
I use to go every year as a kid and then when I stopped being a kid, it didn't seem as cool anymore.

I took a few years off and now am back with full Ekka love!
Ben had never seen the night show before and was making radical claims of getting there when it opened and staying until closing. I was a little bit, err, about that idea especially with our added, hour and a bit drive, as well. To my surprise, the day seemed to zip by so quickly and by 9pm I really didn't want to leave, I think we wandered until we could wonder no more!

Side Show Alley

I ended up playing a few terrible side show alley games :P
And Ben forced me onto the ghost train. I have to say, it was delightfully not scary!

My Brother Andrew and his friend Mark ended up on the scariest ride!
Eek definitely vomit-enducing that on!

Ben got his face painted

I got a dagwood dog

We saw cows

and chickens

goats

a gigantic cat

And I finished off the night getting a famous strawberry icecream.

We had to wait for ages for this thing and when my number was called she said she couldn't serve it cause it was too mong and melty and then 5 minutes later she calls my number again and I get handed an identical one to the rejected ice cream, lol.
Oh well definitely  didn't effect the taste!

I have a roll of film I need to pick up with more ekka goodness so I shall share them too :)
