Staycation {Day 4}: #TheFair at the PNE

Day 4 of our staycation a couple of weeks ago was spent at none other than Vancouver's oldest running fair tradition - The Fair at the PNE.

While in recent years crowds have been dwindling {probably due to the expensive admission costs which don't include ride pases}, the first Tuesday of The Fair was packed with people enjoying the first free admission day.

After a walk around the fairgrounds and learning about farm life at the Kidz Discover Farm inside Safeway Farm Country, we took the kids to a summertime tradition to watch The Superdogs!  Aside from a slight scuffle hiccup at the Superdogs show {honestly, if you're going to a family-friendly event, expect kids to be there - duh}, I had a lot of fun watching Lil J enjoy a show that I {and the rest of Vancouver} had grown up watching as a kid.

Lil J also had some fun teaching the Virgin 953 Flight Crew his hula hooping skills:

And, of course, big cousins come in handy:

One of our favourite parts about the PNE is visiting my brother-in-law's food truck, Jamaican Mi Juicy.  There's nothing like cooling down with a real fruit smoothie and filling our stomach's with mouth-watering authentic Jamaican food!
