The Ex

Yesterday, I went to the Ex - my yearly excursion. (For those who aren't familiar with the Ex, it is also known as the Canadian National Exhibition, and is an annual Toronto that features a midway filled with games and rides, exhibitors, retailers, animals and assorted entertainment that includes live music, buskers, etc.). I enjoyed it all: the Super Dogs show, the buskers, the music, the merchants and of course the food - the ice cream waffles, pogos, the mini donuts and other goodies. It's my yearly junk food fill. And although a number of people got food poisoning there the other day, I did not.

When walking towards one of the buildings,  I found a 2012 loonie between the bingo game and the ice cream waffle place.

We continued strolling around the fairgrounds. In the mid-way, near the bumper cars, I found another 40¢: 2007 quarter, 2008 dime and a 2012 nickel.

Total find: $1.40


Waffle anyone?
A car ride?













There is a farm on the fairgrounds. There were a couple litters of piggies. One litter was born August 13, the other August 14. It's fun watching these babies crawl all over each other and their mom. Some fall asleep as they eat, some like to crawl on top of their siblings before they pass out. Here's a few photos of the piggies and one of a very sleep calf.
