Old Country Fair

This past weekend was going to be a whirlwind of activity and excitement, unfortunately sickness reared its ugly head and I was out for the count of about 24 hours.  Thanks for Spencer for taking some time off work to help with childcare as someone forgot to tell the sick monster that MOMs DON'T GET SICK!  So I was in bed for much of Friday and we had to cancel our date night and hang out at home. 
Well by Saturday I was feeling much better and so tired of doing nothing and I needed to stretch my legs....so after our chores were done we headed out to Churchill square to the Old Time Country Fair.  Now the weather wasn't too bad.  We did get a light dusting of snow, but with boots and coats and some toques (winter hats) and mitts we were fine, remember we do live in Canada these items of clothing are a must.

 

Here is Spencer, Evan and Megan standing beside an old time fire truck.

 Here is Megan putting in some muscle to make the bell ring.  You really had to give it quite a whack.

Here is Evan knocking down the monsters. 

Here is Aaron playing with some animals that were walking around the square. 

The downtown farmer's market was also set up there in some warm tents.  There was free face painting and balloon animals (the balloon line was too long) but we all got our faces painted more like air brushed, it was fast and fun.  Aaron and Evan got Tigers,  Megan a dragon, Spencer got a spider and web and I chose a butterfly. 

They also had a wagon ride that we enjoyed and they had some fires going to warm up by and they provided some marshmellows to roast.  In order to fully enjoy our time we had to get some mini doughnuts to enjoy and warm us up.
