I did, however, eat poutine for dinner and mint chocolate chip ice cream! Matt had 3 tacos - 99 cents each!
Look how long my hair is getting!!!
We went to The Ex on Friday night with Jamie and Hope (who called it a fun fair). I took lots of pictures - brought my 50mm lens and went to town. There were just so many colours! Fair Grounds in the Evening Okay so the first two are actually me just playing with my lens - sun in front Sun behind - much better! We've arrived! This game is always in the same spot each year - Mr. Frog! Gondola Rides With the CN Tower beyond This is one of the few I could do when I was little Row upon row of games and rides and food You could not pay me enough to go on any roller coaster here I remember riding the Polar Express when I was younger Pretty...but so scary Ferris Wheel (warning, there are a lot of pictures of this) Swing set for grown ups! I wish I went on this to get a view from above The "sweet spot" for this game Aliens? Only the start of bright lights to come Shooting water...this was harder than it looked Ring toss! Food & The Farm No thank you, Epic Bacteria. No cronut burger for us! I did, however, eat poutine for dinner and mint chocolate chip ice cream! Matt had 3 tacos - 99 cents each! And then Jamie and Hope arrived. He got a deep fried Twinkie. Gross. To the animals! Hello, Alpaca. Baby turkeys! See you at Thanksgiving! Hen-Turkey hybrid. Don't ask. Ohhhh so many cute piglet butts!!! Since it was promoting farming, this pen was not titled "pigs" but "pork." Sad Cow. I would be too if I was cooped up and milked multiple times a day...bet it's a lot like maternity leave! This goat was great. He was so jealous of the goat in the other pen getting attention! Hope & Jamie Being Silly You steal my camera, I post your pictures. Jamie and his piercing eyes, haha. Dancing? Least blurry of 59 shots. Hope's planning something... At the end of a great dance/rap session. Thanks for the 80 pics. I thought of making a GIF out of all of them. Foot massage! Fair Grounds at Night Lights!!! Oh that's not the end of the ferris wheel... Carousel # 3 Crazy ride I guess? Matt took this. And this. I'm really not mad, I swear. Look how long my hair is getting!!! Minions!!! # 4 Only clear shot I got - it was moving around fast without a great pattern. Hope says "Oh gross. Don't post that picture. I look like a fat disgusting 10-year old boy" I don't see it. I think its amazing. So fun. Just love the colour combo - turquoise and red! The boy. I love this lens! Great end to the night. Hello tiny donut - I will cover you in cinnamon sugar and eat you very soon!

Ah memories! Great camera. Focus so clear. Fabulous colours. U captured so much of the X's essence. When did the "Round-Abouts" become the carousel? Mike sr. always won something usually electric, except for Yvonne's huge teddy bear. Did they have a band at the shell? My dad used to play there with the TSO and sometimes with a military band. (If a regiment was short a player they called him up He was at different times: a sailor, grenadier, 48th highlander, etc)
