First of all, I want to thank you for all the nice comments on my thrift store post and the flattering compliments about the layout. I think this one will definitely be staying for quite a while, seeing as it’s such a crowd pleaser. 
I was hoping to blog much earlier, but my life has been feeling very bland as of late. I really didn’t want to bore anyone with an entry about how I managed to kill a fruit fly that was buzzing around my room a few days back. No, I wanted to save blogging for the days when something fun actually happened around here. And yesterday was one of those days!
So yesterday, my mum, my two brother’s and I spent our day at the CNE (an annual fair in Canada). We had a lot of fun, especially since the weather was on our side that day. 
The first thing we did when we stepped through the gates was go straight to the ribfest. That isn’t what you usually do first thing when you arrive at a fair, but what can I say? We didn’t eat breakfast that morning…and that made the rib sauce all the more yummier. :9
Next, we went roaming around the place. My brother’s got to play some games and my older one went to these betting stalls and actually won some money. It was funny how the dealer had to ask my older brother how old he was. 
I guess he looks much too short for his age (i’m a few cm’s from his height!). hahaha
None of us rode any rides, but I still enjoyed my time looking at everything. I took lots of pictures of the different booths there. I really love the old carnival feel to them and it makes me happy that they still use them. Unfortunately, during one part of the day, there was a huge smudge in my camera lens and I didn’t notice it until much later. 
Some of my good shots were ruined!

We went inside this huge pavilion to cool off, which had lots of little knick-knack shops, flower stalls, a gallery, and… a sand sculpting competition! 
The image below is of the winning sculpture. The whole thing didn’t even fit my small camera screen!
Probably the best part of the day: eating funnel cake. There’s really nothing like eating a plate of hot, sweet dough after walking around all day. 
I think I’ve had too much funnel cake this summer..
Before we left, we watched ‘Movie Magic: An Aerial Acrobatics & Skating Show’. The skating stadium was freezing and I was shivering throughout the whole thing. Nonetheless, the show was enjoyable and I had fun singing along to different movie soundtracks they played (my fav was Shrek). 
It was also a nice challenge trying to take a picture of the speedy skaters. lol
As we walked out through the gates, it really hit me that it was the last Friday before school begun. THE LAST. To me, going to the CNE was a perfect way to spend my last days of summer. My only regret was that I couldn’t take my whole family and relatives along with me. I really hope we go back next summer. But first, I have to get through this hell of a school year. 
Time for me to prepare my school bag…
I miss going to fairs! It’s been awhile since i’ve been to one.
