Family Fun Day

Father's Day and Family Fun Day at the University....and we actually had fun.
 We got to the university at about 12pm, the girls wanted to go straight to the fair. Everything was free, including entry and the fair rides. The girls went on the Helter Skelter first, I went up with them. Lucy didn't hesitate jumping on her mat and going down. Leila was a little scared as we were so high, so I went down with her. She loved it. They also went on a bouncy castle and had a go at Hook A Duck before getting hungry. There were lots of places to eat but everywhere was crowded so we went to the Student's Guild and ordered baked potatoes and chips from the bar, I also bought Graham a pint because it was Father's Day.
 There was so much to do and not enough time so we had to choose from all that was on offer. Graham had a go at clay pigeon shooting, I had a go at acting in a scene from Doctors, the girls did some digging for dinosaur bones. Then there was just enough time to go back to the children's area in the guild for face painting, bouncy castle, arts and crafts. Sadly the girls didn't get around to the face painting as the queue was too long, but they still had fun.
We left about 4.30pm and everyone was happy. All it had cost was our bus fare and the money for the food and drink at lunch time, which was a lot less than what we would spend in Mc Donalds.
