May Fayre

I know my spelling is terrible, but actually that's how they spell the May Fair here in Wokingham. It's really nice, they have a free Family Fun Day with free rides, candy floss, puppet show, face painting and a petting zoo kind of area in a local park. Luckily the weather was lovely and we were able to spend at least an hour in the queue for face painting. I think you'll agree the end results were good, but I don't think they really had to be so intricate with little kids... but still, Amie and Noah were very happy with it. I've been trying to upload a video of Amie on her 'new' bike, but it won't work. I got this bike for nothing from Freecycle, but had to spend 30 pounds on it getting new wheels and the brake fixed. I decided to try teach her to ride a bike without using training wheels, because in Holland really young children are out riding bikes and I've never seen training wheels on them, so I guess they don't use them. Anyway, within about 10 minutes she had the hang of it. I think it'd due to the fact she had a balance bike for ages, and she could to downhill on that with both her feet up, so she had the balance already.. she just needs to remember to keep peddeling now.
