This past weekend was about good old fashioned fun at Playland. Recently, when we took the kids to Whitespot on a dinner date, they all got free passes in their Pirate Packs . . . so that was a good enough reminder to head out for yet another date.Since all the parking lots were full, we had to drive around the block for a while stopping as the locals flagged down the passing cars, offering their driveways for $20-25. When we finally got a tiny spot behind someone's garage, the kids figured that he sure was a nice man. Yes, and now the nice man did not have to stand on the street any longer trying to get some extra party money.
This year marks the 100th Anniversary of the PNE. Some of the attractions of the two-week fair are the agricultural exhibits, performances, nightly fireworks, the PNE Prize Home and the Playland rides, of course . . . the most historic attraction being the wooden roller coaster, built in 1958. 
But no big roller coaster for me any more . . .I fit right in with what the kids enjoy right now.
and the view from the top of this one is probably like no other.
Of course, what would a fair be without hot dogs, cotton candy and winning stuffed toys at the balloon pop stand? It was another wonderful day seen from the perspective of children . . . now documented for future memories of the PNE.

Looks like a wonderful outing anneliese!
Great fun Anneliese..I'm with you, the kids rides would be all I'd want:)
What a fun way to spend time with the grands...and take in the 100th anniversary of the PNE.
I can't imagine you going up the Gondola at Whistler...you could do the Ferris Wheel. Surprise those kids. Sounds like a fund weekend with those little ones...hang on to them and hold them tight.
