Holland Festival

On Saturday February 17th we went to Sandown Racecourse yet again for another Holland Festival. This year it would only be held on the Saturday instead of the whole weekend. Just as well because both days were tipped to be 38 degrees. I think it got to way more than that.

We could only stay for a couple of hours because we were going to Kaytie's 1st birthday for the afternoon. Micayla's oma had made Micayla her very own dutch costume with material she brought back with her from their trip to Holland. She looks so gorgeous, a typical little dutch girl. She also loves to 'help' Oma with selling the cd's and pretends to write everything down for Oma.

It was too hot for Bailey to be dressed in a full dutch costume, he can't handle the heat as well. Not that he'd let us dress him up anyway. He flat out refuses to wear the hat but we are able to get the scarf on him and he does love wearing his clogs.

Because they went to the effort in dressing up they were given free rides. Here they are having fun on the tea cup ride. They also played on the jumping castle. Bailey was having fun hopping from side to side and throwing himself against the wall and falling back onto his back. When the guy put out his hand to take Bailey's ride ticket, Bailey just gave him a Hi 5.

It seems Bailey is becoming very interested in the steam engines. He stands there and watches it like he's trying to work out how it all works. Opa thinks it's fantastic and says that he has a little mate in the waiting to dabble in the engines with him.
