Another Fair to remember

The Port Hope Fall fair is one of the best in Ontario. It's a manageable size, the crowds aren't crazy, there is lots of fun stuff to see and do, and the animals are amazing! (We especially loved the goats this year, though the giant clysedale horsies are pretty cool too).

And now that the formerly-Ottawa branch of the fam is living in Port Hope, it's even MORE fun!

We set off last Sunday on a '10-outta-10' gorgeous fall day. Four adults, three kids = a good ratio. Supplies packed, extra money for the ridiculously expensive rides, and a plethora of snacks.

The theme for this year's fair was 'Corn is King' which I find totally hilarious for some reason:



First stop (after checking out the antique tractors and running the gauntlet of carnies) was, of course, the rides! Sam preferred to be a spectator for this portion of the day, but Evy and Charley couldn't get enough:





The good thing about the Fair is that it's fun for adults too, especially the spinny strawberry ride:



After about $40 worth of ride tickets were used up, it was time for some lunch. Fall Fair's finest - fries, onion rings, hot dawgs, and icecream. Evy and Sam enjoyed feeding each other treats:



After refueling with adequate amounts of greasy food, it was time to visit the animals. First stop was the dog agility course, where everyone, especially Charley, found hilarity in their crazy canine shenanigans:



The goats were just like frisky puppies and other than consistently trying to eat Evy's hat, they were the highlight of the day:



Although, the pony rides were extremely fun, especially for horse-crazy Evy who will no doubt within the year be begging daddy to buy her a pony:





So, that's the mini-recap of what was 5 hours of pure fun. Thanks to Lee, Chris and the boys for being such great company. Can't wait 'til next year! (Maybe potatoes will be king next year? Or rutabegas?!)
