Meet me at the EX

On Friday Alastair got offered free tickets to the Toronto vs San Jose soccer game (sometimes it's worth it to be the last one in the office!)....the tickets came with free admission to the Canadian National Exhibition so we spent our Saturday at Canada's largest fair (the fifth largest fair in North America).
There were exhibits, shows, concerts (we were greeted by a band playing Elvis! The King Lives!), a working farm, a carnival, horse shows, dog shows, cat shows....and of course it was a fried food paradise - I refused to try the deep fried butter!



There was a section just for kids where Anna got to practice her painting.....
 A music room where she got to play keyboards, bongos, drums, and every other kind of noisemaker

Anna also enjoyed dancing in the music room...here she is dancing to Lady Gaga Born this Way! The kids got great taste in music!
 
 The bast part of the fair by far was the petting zoo! Anna was in animal heaven...the funniest part was Anna would just stop and make animal sounds at the top of her lungs...


 We petted the cow's nose.... 
We petted baby goats and donkeys.....

 
 And we ran all over chasing the baby chickens!

Fun facts at the fair
 Alastair wanted to look at the tractor...Anna is pointing at the more interesting animals!
 Anna was very excited when she saw this llama...with it's brown spots she thought it was a giraffe or wikki as she calls it...
 There were also butter sculptures on display...
 Saturday night at the EX.....
