It is that time of year again – the CNE is town so off we went for a day full of fun. And it certainly was a very full, aka long, day.
We started in the kiddie section. Big news this year, Elspeth (at 38″) could go on rides without an adult…well, at least some of them. She was thrilled.
From there we headed to the shows. As usual, Superdogs was amazing. Those dogs are really something. They never fail to amaze me. Elspeth enjoyed the cool air so much that she…fell asleep. Woke up in time to see the sand sculptures and floral displays before heading back to the show area for the acrobatic show which again was amazing. Elspeth would call it “daring”.
After some dinner it was time for the parade. Katrine was a superstar big sister because she gave a string of beads to a rather disappointed Elspeth. The highlight of the parade was the Elsa / Frozen float that blew out snow to the delight of the watching children.
Then we explored the displays (one of my favourite parts) before a few more rides. I got to ride the sack slide about four times. Elspeth would have gladly gone more but I refused to carry her up to the top. I love sack slides. Such a simple ride but so much fun.
We ended the day with a fireworks display. Glenn and the girls were on the Skyrider for the fireworks which was a treat. Where was I? Sensibly on the ground of course. I really don’t like being on things that I can fall from (yes I know it is not logical but fears rarely are).
