Fall fair fun!

Today we went to the fall fair in a nearby town. It was so much fun! We had no idea it was such a big fair... with a midway, rides, games, horse shows, dog shows, tractor pulls, etc. It made me so nostalgic for my childhood days at the Ex. Olan took to carnival life like a champ and mowed his way through our big sheet of ride tickets. He even went on his first rollercoaster and the ferris wheel all my HIMSELF! His height really came in handy, I think he was probably the only two-year-old on the Go-Gator rollercoaster. :) He also played this magnetic frog fishing game and won the biggest prize, a huge spiderman hammer that he can terrorize everyone in the family with. He proudly carried his prize around the fair, just like the big boys!

Merry-go-round!

Some kind of truck ride, Olan was chatting up some kids in the car behind him, maybe not the best driver. :)

The frog game

Big prizewinner!

Testing out all the front end loaders and what-not.

WoooooooHooooooooo! We almost got air! I wouldn't let him go by himself- either because I really wanted to go myself or because I'm a conscientious mother. ;)

"To infinity and beyond!" This went so fast it made me dizzy to watch. He just laughed.

Go-Gator, his first rollercoaster!

All smiles!

So high!

Open farm day

Once a year here in NS, many farms open their doors, and barns, to whomever wants to take a look. There's lots of fun things to see, wagon rides to go on and fuzzy horse noses to snuggle with. We had a blast again this year, it will definitely be a yearly tradition.

Biggest best barbecue EVAH! $8.00 got you a plate loaded with chicken, cob of corn, baked potato and beautiful tomato salad.

Friends!

Pretending to drive the wagon themselves.

Katie... Olan has such a crush on her, and how could he not with those red curls and fearless style. :)

Big boy taking on the huge drainage pipe slides. No fear.

Olan, determined to sneak a ride on any pony that was willing

"Just resting here mommy"

Hello velvet nosed friend!

Circus act

Coolest kids on the block?

Olan had a visit from an Ottawa friend, Logan! Logan is Isabelle's boyfriend and a musical genius just like Olan. :)

I was bummed to miss their visit, but glad that the boys had so much fun rocking out together. I hear that Logan has a mean moonwalk... this I have to witness! Thankfully Mom managed to get some pictures for me.

Do you think they have the rock star attitude down yet?
