Just got back from the 2009 CNE this evening. Everything went pretty well, until Finney suddenly got the runs before Carrie could get her to a washroom…and then her hat fell in the toilet. She was generally much more chipper afterwards, though. Owen became surgically-attached to a candy apple and liberally coated his face with the sticky red stuff to show everyone how pleased he was to have received one. Finn objected loudly whenever Carrie or I helped ourselves to her cotton candy. It was nice trip to that sort of thing, and we saw it again through their eyes this year.<\/p>\n

I’ve added a few pictures at the end from our last visit to the CNE (in 2005) to contrast the age of the kids.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nFinn and Owen attempt to get a Canadian Forces LAV<\/a> in motion. “Why won’t it move, Dada?”<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nFinn finds out that centrifugal force is not to be trifled with.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nFinn and Carrie coming down the Giant Slide, one of them less enthusiastic than the other.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nOwen, at the controls of an F16. “Where’s the gun button?”<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nOoooh, priddy!<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nSee above.<\/p>\n

From 2005:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"
\nFinn, at 1 and a half (in 2005), pleased as punch to be on a real Ferris Wheel!<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nOwen and Carrie (2005). Owen pensive at the thought of something or other. Hey, it was a long time ago now; an eon, really in child years.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nCNE guy trying and failing to guess Owen’s weight (2005). Picture that got away that day? Owen receiving a teeny toy and simultaneously pointing at one of the humungo toys hanging from the shop roof.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
