I think the kids thought that this was going to be a great
day when the first thing that they did was hug a vending machine that would
spit out a free can of Coke. One thing
that we try to avoid as much as possible is giving the kids pop. We know that they will get pop at parties,
some play dates and special occasions, so we chalked this up as a special
occasion and let them have their pop.
First on the agenda was watching the Super Dog Show . . .
Emma was in dog bliss as she sat there watching the dogs race through the
agility course, go through tunnels, and jump over the bars. Her favourite dog was named Hakita of
course. “I liked him because he was big
and he was named Hakita!”

 |
| Emma did not talk too much throughout the show. The dogs kept her at the edge of her seat for most of the show. |
On our way to the next show, I just happened to get stopped
by the mini donut food cart, where by some magical force I was hypnotized by
the sweet smell of oil, sugar and cinnamon and bought two bags. When Emma saw what I had in my hands, she
came running over to get her tasty treat.

Next on our list of things to see was the Craz E Stunts, a
bike and roller blading stunt team that used ramps to do some amazing
tricks. This was the boys favourite show
. . . of course . . . with the many high risk tricks. Tail whips, backflips and bar spins were just
some of the tricks these guys did.
We (and when I say we, I mean Michelle) saw an opportunity
for the kids to do a pedal tractor pull competition in one of the
buildings. So we got there early to
register and happen to catch the start of a magic show put on by The Freddy
Fusion. He did some cool illusions and
was quite funny. At one point in the
show he asked for a volunteer from the audience and Jamie’s hand shot straight
up. Jamie was chosen to go up on stage
and help out the Magician. I thought it
was perfect that he asked Jamie if he could put his two fingers together and
hold them there and of course Jamie said yes.
The magician attached a toilet paper roll to his fingers, which made all
of us laugh (especially Emma). He then
said, “no wait”, took the toilet paper off of his fingers and then said,
“actually I like it this way”, and switched the roll around. Jamie’s face was priceless as he giggled away
on stage.

| At on point Jamie was TP’d by the magician as he used a blower to dispense the roll. |
We then got to see Britains Got Talent speed painter David Sharp. He painted this Iron Man in two songs.
Jamie pulled 75 lbs in the first round, 125
lbs, 225 lbs, and then finally 325 lbs in the fourth round! Who knew that those little legs could push so
much weight. Jamie finished fourth.
Josh started off at 100 lbs, 150 lbs, 225
lbs, 325 lbs, and in his final attempt he was up to 400 lbs! Josh amazingly pulled the 400 lbs sled about
10 feet down the course. Josh finished
in second place!
What more can you ask for than a day of entertainment, food
from the fair, and of course some after dinner treats!
 |
| Josh and I went back for some more mini donuts! |
One thing about Saskatchewan is that they love their Roughriders . . . there is Rider Gear everywhere! Shirts, hats, licence plates, RV Mats, everything and anything Riders!! So, we took a risk and got out of the car . . . one of my good friends who is a Riders Fan said that we could of got arrested for this . . . joking of course, I think!
