Our day trip to Mansfield

Because it rained so much on the Saturday we decided to pack the kids up and go for a road trip. We drove to Mansfield, about 45 minutes away and managed to stumble onto a lovely community festival. It was so exciting and was a highlight of our camping trip.
The kids evened managed to have a lovely old fashioned horse and cart ride through the township of Mansfield. All we could here from the top of the carraige was "The Wheels on the Carraige go round and round, round and round, all through the town"

Brooklyn and Jacob found some fantastic treasures throguhout the day. Brooklyn followed her passion of painting and drawing to create a masterpeice she's holding above. A painted ceramic horses head to hang on her wall.
Jacob noticed a huge lollypop that was the shape of an old steam engine. He held that lollypop all afternoon.

Courtney and I thought why not get into the spirit of a festival with the kids and have our faces painted. Cute, don't you think?
