Frankton Gala

I love school gala's.  I love the family atmosphere, I love that all the proceeds are going to help a school, I love all the food.  This was the first time the boys had been to a gala.  It was not as big as I had expected, but still really great.  I'm so glad that it worked out that Tui would be home that night to come with us.

The boys got to ride on a mini Ferris Wheel.  We're so lucky that Malachi is such a great brother, coz there is no way Vili would have gone on it without him.  It was so cute, every time they went around they SCREAMED at us "Hi!!! Can you see me??!!! I'm up here!!! Whooo hoooo!!".  It was so cute.

 

We did a few carnival games, but only the ones where everyone wins a prize. :)

 

Each of the classes had to set up and run their own game or stall, so Malachi played a few of their games too, like the frisby toss.  He won a bottle of water.  He could not have been more proud of his water.

The boys got their faces painted.  Malachi wanted to be a boy butterfly, and Vili is a tiger. It was the first time that Vili was brave enough to let someone paint his face. 

 

 

 

They were going to have hot air balloon rides but it was too windy, so instead they just let the kids run around inside the balloon, which they still thought was really cool.

They also had the Super XV trophey on display, which the boys were underwhelmed by.

And of course, there was lots of yummy stuff to eat.

 

We topped it all off with a picnic for dinner and called it a great night.
