It's official

Ok, so i've come to terms with that fact that my wedding ring is gone. Let this be a reminder to all those out there with wedding rings that you should not go work in the bushlands of Australia and think that it'll be ok to wear your ring. It will slip off (probably) and get lost in the bush. :(

SO, I get to pick out a new ring. Should I A. get one exactly the same so that it replicates the original and honors all the hard work Jeremy went to to get it, or B. Pick a new one totally different? HELP

EKKA!

I've been meaning to post about the "Ekka" for awhile. The Ekka travels all over Australia and a month ago it came to Brisbane. It's kind of like a fair but BIGGER.We did our usual garage saleing on Saturday morn, then packed up lunch and headed south to Brissy! The night before, Greg arrived and was pretty tired, but we all had a lot of fun!

This is us on our way! Jeremy and his new woman....;)

Traveling music...



They have "show bags" that you can buy and in it is a bag of goodies that you could buy each for less than the cost ofthe bag itself, but it attracts a lot of attention inside the tent...It's kind of like an expo. We bought some YUMMY strawberry ice creams that have strawberries in the bottom of the cone! mmmm....:)


Mum and I got some soaps.




Refueling with some chocolate milk!


I stopped inside some China market place to feed Kylee and soon enough I had people stoping and smiling at Kylee. It was really funny! The Chinese women just stood in front of us for like 15 min and just laughed and played with Kylee. HAHA. I guess Bill thought it was amusing and took a pic.



They do an agriculture tent where people compete for the best lay out of their crops. This whole display is made up of produce. This is just one of many and this isn't even the coolest one! They had ones that had moving parts and smoke and stuff. It's just so cool. The best part was the free honey tasting booth! Yummy!




Then we headed to the show that started at dark...this was the coolest part



Chariott racing....REAL chariotts and it was really cool!!!!!!!!!!!




This is a 1950s truck that had a jet engine on the back of it that drove around the track and blew fire out the back of it. It was really loud and hot and it went around the track like 15 times just blowing smokey fire. It was cool like the first 2 times haha,





These are Toyota Hilux trucks. THIS WAS SO COOL! In this picture, they're driving FAST around the track but they're one or two inches apart from eachother, then they'd peel out and spin around and then go backwards and stuff.....I guess you'd have to be there to see how cool it was.



Then two of them drove around the track on two wheels on it's side. It was really cool!


Among other things, we were VERY tired as you can see, we're both yawning. I didn't even know that Bill was taking this picture! And Kylee feel asleep sitting up with me covering her ears.


After the fireworks, we headed back to the car to head home.




We had a great time and I would recommend the Ekka to all those who visit AUSTRALIA!!!!! Who's coming?!!!!

LOST

After looking in the usual spots, I realized I've lost my WEDDING RING!!!!!!!! AHHHHHH~!!!!!
Even though it's covered with insurance, I'm still very worried because I want THAT ring! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
