It has become a tradition to head to the annual fair at Lansdowne Mall. This is our third year in a row, so it definitely qualifies as a family tradition. We take in the sights, drop $10 (per child) at the fishing game so Sarah can buy win a Hello Kitty doll, ride as many rides as our coupons will allow and then stuff our faces with cotton candy before heading home. This year it was a field trip with our cousins. It is so sweet to see how much they love each other, how they truly enjoy spending time together. The excitement is palpable when they first see each other.
Jack and I on the monkeys. Jack adored this ride last year. This year, he was the koala bear and I was the tree for our first round on the monkeys. After that he settled in and even let us spin it a little.
The carousel was a little too fast for Jack's liking. He wanted to sit this one out.
Round two of the monkeys. Jack sitting on his own now.
Monster Trucks were a favourite.
Some adult ride fun. I am turning into a bit of a weak link when it come to rides and sat this one out.
Waiting patiently for cotton candy.
Cotton Candy. Yum. Sticky. Sweet. Delicious.

I've lived here for my entire life and have never heard of this fair! I'm going to have to check it out next year, it looks fabulous! Great pictures as always, and I love the quote about cousins. I grew up as an only child but was very close with my cousins :)
ReplyDeleteThe fair is on until the end of the Easter Weekend (maybe it closes Sunday). If you the weather is nice and you want to check it out.
ReplyDeleteTotally adorable pics and the quote I am now sending to my SIL. Our kids are stair-steps and cousining is our favorite pastime. Love it! Erin
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. We go to out county fair every year. The kids know when daddy's birthday rolls around it's fair time. I only have one cousin and she's quite a bit younger than me but we are close even now.
