CNE

Every year, Chris and I have to go to the Ex to win huge prizes that are bigger than me. Past teddies include: Taz (the only one we kept and did not give away to family friends), Scooby-Doo, Grover and more! However, each year, the carnies make the games more difficult: the rims on the basketball game are more oval; the rings for the ring toss game are smaller; and so on. A lot of the games probably just require 15 minutes to master but considering that each attempt is increasingly expensive, winning a prize would cost much more than it is worth.

Anyway, last night, Mom, Chris, Karen and I went to the CNE with the mindset that the best "games" are the food stands: you really can't lose. You pay $5 for a tornado potato or corndog or a dozen Tiny Tom's donuts and you're an instant winner.

Chris can't wait to bite into this potato that has been peeled to maximize

Mom's free princess bat is only slightly larger than the footlong corndog - delicious!

We had a great time: you can obviously see the joy that food brings =) And by the time we got home, I had been up and walking for about 3 hours. I totally crashed and my knee and belly couldn't be happier.
