Carrying on Tradition

Since I shared my latest project post this morning, I had to take some time this afternoon to post a little about our weekend.


As I mentioned on Friday, we headed over to the CNE this weekend with Halle and this was a huge deal for me (and not just because baby girl turned 5 weeks that day!). You see, the CNE has always been a tradition in my family. Every August, for as long as I can remember, we packed into the car and headed down to the Exhibition grounds to finish off summer with a bang. As kids we enjoyed the rides, games and food... and as I got older the rides have become less exciting and now it's all about food and shopping. Regardless of what we're there for, we always have a great time, so it meant a lot to me to bring Halle for the first time, and my parents came along too...

B, Halle (in the stroller of course) and my Dad as we entered the Ex Grounds...

Halle spent a good portion of the day doing this... which made our trip so very easy! 

Considering B's corn dog. She wasn't interested... she'd just eaten...

Checking out what's good from her perch on Grandpa's shoulder

Spent some time hanging out with Daddy while we "shopped" - she loved all of the lights and different colours...

As we left for another year, my Dad snapped a family photo of us (even though you can really only see Halle's hand in this photo... she was asleep and we didn't want to wake her up for the photo) in front of the Prince's Gates. We'll have to get another one next summer!

What fun things did you get up to this past weekend? Any traditions you have to end the summer?
