Ekka - Night time

This is the final blog post for my Ekka adventures. This year they changed up the night show a bit and dare I say made it, trendier! I really enjoyed it, there were flames, lasers, dancers, music and of course fireworks (that's why we got there early, right?)

 It's a whole different World at night!

Ekka - Side Show Alley

Sideshow alley is my favourite part of the ekka to photograph, lots of colours, people, tacky signs and artwork :) I love it so much I'm considering getting that first photo below blown up huge and hung in my room! 

These water balls looked like so much fun, I was seriously tempted to go on it, the weight limit was 80kgs but the staff seemed to struggle with anyone over the age of ten so I thought better of it :p

 What's an Ekka without dolls on sticks :P

I took this shot from the mini Ferris wheel J and I went on, we actually scored free tickets (as someone pushed in front of us) but our first ride went for so long we never did go back on it :p you don't normally say that about rides but J and I seriously thought they may have forgotten about us!

No problems pushing J into the water!

Whilst we were on the Ferris wheel, Andrew got addicted to basketball

He also went on the zipper, crazy boy! Dodgem cars are my limit!

Okay I'll let the pictures do the talking now :)

One more post to go! You can check out my previous ekka posts here and here

Ekka - Indoors

So yesterday was all about the outdoors and today it's the indoors. I'm such an old person, I love looking at the arts and crafts! This year I also discovered the quilts pavilion, it was super fun to go check out all the details. I'm wondering if its been there every year and I've only just managed to discover it! We also made sure we visited the animal farm. Who doesn't love patting baby animals!! Eep, so cute :)

Ekka - outside

I've been looking forward to blogging about the Ekka (Brisbane's agricultural show) so I'm definitely stoked to finally share my pictures!  As per normal, I took way too many photos so I'm going to divide them up into, outside, inside, side show alley and night time :)

I thought I'd start off today with the outside shots - we were blessed with the most summery day ever, which is weird because it's August here in Australia and that means we're still in Winter. Anyway no complaints from me as Summer is my favourite season!

I love that cheeky cowboy checking out that girl, well I'm checking out you buster :P
