It was the last day of the fair but we finally made it out to it. The Western Fair is our counties biggest fall fair and it was the first time I have ever attended. I usually attend my hometown fall fair and if we need a ride fix, we hit Canada's Wonderland. Well we never made it to Wonderland and next weekend is our town's fall fair and my boy is going camping for the entire weekend with his cub scouts so we won't make it to that one, so catching this fair was important. Still, it was only me and the boy and Farm Girl who could make it. But we still had fun.
A ride on the back of this monster truck was the highlight of the day for my boy.
But the visit to the Canadian Forces exhibit was a close second.
His genuine excitement and interest had all the soldiers giving him their full attention.
This soldier gave my boy his coat and cap to try on.
Isn't he cute? He's soluting.
Another exhibit that was a huge success with us was the petting zoo. This pen of adorable mini pigs put thoughts into my head that really had no business being there.
And this little guy I would have happily placed in the back of my van and taken home if I were allowed.
There were plenty of rides but my boy, it turns out, is not much of a ride person. He rode a couple, cried horribly on one....
That's him screaming on the left.
So we ended the day with a pig race and with the boy assuring me, regardless of above ride, he had a great time.
They also raced ducks which was by far funnier but I didn't snatch my camera up quick enough as they ran too fast...except for one that flew to the finish line!
