Todays marks opening day
Of the 126th annual
C.N.E.
or
Canadian National Exhibition
Here in Toronto

For those that have been going
Since they were in strollers
It's just called "The Ex"

18 days of super-fun
Held right on Toronto's waterfront

We might go this weekend

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Ex
Hub HATES HATES HATES it
He isn't sure why
He just does

Maybe because he isn't from here
He's from Heidi-land
Oui?

Anyhow...
How can you hate
The smell of yummy fair food?!!
The sound of laughing and screaming on rides?!!
The noises coming from the games?!!

How can you hate a place
That actually has
A "Food Building"????

Every type of food that you
Could ever want
Has it's own booth in this building
Freebies galore, too.

"Buy a 24 oz coke, get a free hotdog!"
"Buy one back bacon on a bun, get the 2nd one free!
(Do I have to explain back bacon to any of my American readers? ;) )
"Buy 1 dozen donuts, get the 2nd dozen for a penny"
"Buy 1 scoop, but get 2...and upgrade to a waffle come for a penny!"

It's madness, I tell you!

But I love it.
Our very smart 2 year old has never been
But she sees the commercials and says
"Ex, mommy....pweeeeeese!"

Maybe if she changes it to
"Ex, daddy....pweeeeeese"
Hub will change his tune
