Glastonbury

Ok, I said I would do a post a day but that never materialized, but I have a new laptop now so hoping to blog more often.

Back in June, for my birthday, we went to the Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts, or just "Glastonbury". It's a massive music festival held every year, except for the fifth year when they have a break, and is over 3/4 days. We went down there for 5 nights, camping with the boyfriend, lil man and my sister.

Everyone I know thought I was crazy taking a two year old to a music festival, but Glastonbury has to be one of the most child and family friendly festivals ever. It was amazing and I've wanted to go so many times and it just happened the first time I go is with my child. He loved every minute of it and I'm surprised he took to the whole camping experience really well.

They have a "Kidz Field" which opened on the Thursday, a day before the bands, comedy acts etc play around the site, so we spent most of the day there where lil man could play, go on rides, see live shows of popular cartoon characters. He also got to see the premiere of Cars 2 before we left at the end of the weekend.

 Anyway here's some more photos from our time there...and we'll definitely be going back in 2013 if we can get tickets.

Roary the Racing Car

One of the first children's cartoons the lil man loved to watch was Roary the Racing Car, probably because of his fascination with cars.

I came across a blog advertising the live stage version of the cartoon at a local theatre and booked tickets for the three of us. Lil man's eyes lit up as soon as we hit the front door and he had the time of his life. It was so nice to watch him watching the show and singing along to the songs and shouting out the characters names. Definitely one of the highlights of June 2011.
