On Sunday, we took the girls to the local country park to see the Reindeer being fed. We hadn`t been before, and we were all really looking forward to it, so warmly dressed for the December weather, we set off.
There was also a craft fair, so we saw that first, and had a snack there, believing that there would be mammoth crowds to see the feeding, and that we would have plenty of time to see the tail end of it all and miss the worst of the crowds :-)
Helen wanted to have her face painted, and once it was done, Abby was so impressed that she asked for hers to be done too, which was a surprise, as she doesn`t normally like that sort of thing...........she sat there happily and looked lovely afterwards, albeit very - pink.
So we made our way up the castle steps, to the area where the deer feed was happening.
We obviously had pitched the timing just right, as we could see people starting to make their way down the steps to go to the Craft fair.
Imagine our surprise, on a cold December day , to see, halfway up the seriously huge flight of steps, an amateur photographer and his model doing what could only be euphemistically and charitably called a "glamour shoot".
She was just about dressed, but wearing very little, and we were hysterical to see them carrying on regardless as if it were the most normal thing in the world to be doing a semi-lewd photo shoot on steps which rapidly became a swarming crowd of parents and children in search of hot drinks at the craft fair.........I came out in goosebumps in sympathy for this poor woman, and I was wearing thermal clothing !!
Surprisingly, our little ones didn`t seem to notice how little the woman was wearing in their eagerness to see the reindeer, and we were thrilled to find that the reindeer were still in front of the castle terrace in good numbers, feeding happily, and we were able to get a grandstand view at the very front of the castle terrace.
DH managed to get some brilliant shots of them with our brand-new camcorder, and he spent the rest of the afternoon editing the footage and burning it all onto a DVD, so we could watch it on the TV.
The girls thought it was wonderful to see themselves on film, and we ahve seen it several times already , LOL.

Palvos' favorite "movies" are his birthday DVD's, last year's Christmas DVD, etc. He likes to see himself and he likes to see his favorite people (his cousins, yiayia and pappous, uncles, aunts, etc.). He prefers watching those to watching any of his other movies:)
