Multicultural Festival

Sunday was the annual Multicultural festival held at the Heritage Village. There are still a few of the normal market stalls along with some community info stalls, rides and an array of food from across the world, that's my favourite part. There is also a variety of different music and dance acts in a few locations around the grounds with a main stage near the food area.
Of course Jack and Owen had to have a ride on the camels. It's impossible to get away with Jack not having a ride on the camels, he's practically a pro.Then we stopped to have a look at the animals. Jack fed the Daddy goat and then...he got to nurse the cutest little goat. It is only days old (still has it's umbilical stump). It was just so adorable.We went and checked out the couple of rides and things that they had and Jack had a turn on the jumping castle...before we grabbed ourselves some yummy lunch from the Hare Krishna stall and sat to watch a couple of the acts. We saw some gorgeous little girls doing a dance routine in the most beautiful sari's and little pink fairy wings. We had timed our lunch to catch some tunes by a local band called Busby Marou, we've seen them before at the Australia Day celebrations and they are really good. The schedule was a bit out so we got the added treat of seeing another band from Rocky called The Short Fall. They are great!! I've seen them at one of the local pubs too and they have such a great sound, fantastic vocals.
After lunch we had a look at the rest of the stalls and Jack and I had a ride on some spinning ride before we headed home.
When we got home Jack decided he wanted to do some cooking. He saw an episode of Play School the other week where they made "Raspberry Mousse" so he wanted to make it the other day and because it was cheaper to buy mixed frozen berries he then wanted to make Blackberry Mousse yesterday. It's quite nice actually. It's just mashed up berries mixed with yoghurt and cream and some smashed up meringues mixed through. He only has a few spoonfuls of it but I'm happy to let him make it anyway, anything to try to encourage him to eat fruit.
A random photo of our very relaxed, very pretty but very demanding cat, Kitti-Mae...And my entry for round 2 of Embellished Idol...

It feels good to be back scrapping but my mojo is not really flowing at the moment, I'm sure it's not helped by the cramped messy condition of my scrap room. Should try to get around to clearing it out some time, it's just such a big job.

Anyhoo, better get off to bed.
