My experience at the CNE with my family

Last Friday my mom, sister (Kenzie), Devon & our two babies as well as I of course went to the CNE which I believe is the biggest Canadian exhibition.

Devon and I woke up at 7-7:15 and we began to get ready for the day. I had packed our bag the previous night so I began my makeup as Devon took care of our son as he woke up right after us.

We left the house at 8:20 to go pick up my mom and sister. Unfortunately my dad had to work and my brother didn't want to go.

On the way there Devon got lost as usual ( he always seems to get lost in Toronto). We arrived sometime after 10. We then parked the van and walked about 5-10 minutes to the gates and paid for our tickets. First on our list was to go to the art building. Of course it was on the very end of the CNE. Once they're the shopping began I found a beautiful jewelled gypsy headband. We then went to the food building. Devon and I didn't know what to get so we left our son Mason with my mom and we got him pizza (he's extremely picky). Once he was eating we went exploring. The first thing we tried was a giant onion that was sliced and fried. It was ok nothing amazing, it wasn't coated or cooked that well. We then decided to have something we enjoyed last year which was a fried mars bar however Devon came back with that and a fried Twinkie for hisself. I tried it however I didn't like it because frying it made it taste doughy in a raw way. I was disappointed because the mars bar was also doughy. It just seemed like they were all rushing everything this year. Devon then went and got some ribs and fries he said the ribs were good. My sister had some Greek food and my mom had some Caribbean and Indian food.

Julianna got up and we played a bit she was very curious and enjoyed all the bright lights. After I changed her we went shopping. I got some Indian bracelets for myself & Julianna. Unfortunately I never found something for my son so I got him a couple new cars the following day. Overall there was a lot of nice things. I didn't buy much because I just made some big etsy purchases which you can expect to see in the weeks to come.

After shopping we went to the kids area. I took my son to the toddler area where they had a train set then my mom and sister took him to the park while Devon, Julianna and I got seats so we could see Barney. Once Barney came on we stayed for about 10-15 minutes and then we went to the magic house. It was the same as last year so we left and went to the animal building, Mason didn't like the animals lol We were all getting hungry so my mom and Kenzie went to the food building and I got some chicken strips and fries at a stand to share with Devon. Mason ate a pudding. The entire day Julianna was fairly good she would relax in the stroller and we would hold her now and then. Once we ate we went to the garden building where they had some amazing sand sculptures and after we went to the games and ride area. Devon went on a ride with my sister and we had a nice time.

The day was almost over so we headed to the entrance to see a small mardi gra parade. Mason actually enjoyed this even though you would never guess from his blank expression lol We then got a funnel cake with icing sugar and headed on home!

Overall we had a lot of fun. I didn't include every detail and it may not all be exactly in order. It was a very busy day lol however we had a nice time.
