SuperEx Adventures (My Trip To The Big Fair)
by Sebastien
 
 

Hi - it's me, Sebastien!  I just got back from my most recent adventures, and wanted to share all the fun I had with you.  Last Sunday, Daddy took me to this big fair in Ottawa called the Central Canadian Exhibition (us locals just call it SuperEx).  Mommy and Sacha were supposed to come too, but Sacha was feeling sick so they had to stay home...

There was lots to see and do at this fair.  My favourite thing to do at fairs is going on all the rides, so Daddy got me one of those all-day ride bracelets.

   


     
here I am on some of the cool rides

Daddy took me to see a neat show at the SuperEx.  It was a SHARK show!!!  I was a little scared at first that they would eat me, but daddy said they had already ate their lunch... 


 There was a big tank full of sharks that had been brought all the way here from their ocean in Florida.  A man told us all about sharks and what they do in the ocean.

     

Then, he even went for a swim with the sharks.  I was afraid they would eat him, but the man seemed to know what he was doing.  He even grabbed one and rubbed its belly.
 

     

Daddy also took me to have a look at the shark display so I could learn more about them.  They have BIG teeth to bite with - yikes!

     

          

 After the shark show, daddy took me on some more rides.  If you haven't noticed, I usually pick the red ones because red is my favourite colour.  I was even able to find a  fire truck ride! Daddy was a little disappointed that there was no  police car rides for him (maybe next time).

  A little while later, Daddy wanted to see another show.  This time he took me to see MOTORCYCLES !!!  These weren't just any motorcycles they were the kind that did crazy tricks!  They had this ramp that they would drive up and then they would shoot up into the big blue sky.  Jason and Johnny (the motorcycle drivers) would do crazy tricks in the sky before landing. 

     

     
Daddy kept saying something about never letting me have a motorcycle to try those things at home.  I'm not sure what the big worry was - it looked easy to me ...




  After the motorcycles it was time for more rides and stuff.  I met this guy called Fred Flinstone.  It seems he was on TV allot when daddy was little.  He says he's mostly retired now....

     
 My favourite ride of the day was the Niagara Falls log ride.  I liked it because you get to go down a big hill and get all wet at the bottom. 
 

     
 I also had fun on the dropping tower ride.  Daddy joined me for the big ferris wheel.  It went really high!


 Daddy also took me to see the animals in the big barn.  I guess he knows how much I love cows....

          

 look - cows!


 I even got to try a few of the games at the fair.  I did pretty good at this one where you have to throw a baseball...

     
I won a prize !!!


Then it was time for a few more rides.  Daddy even found me a merry-go-round that had my favourite animal - a ZEBRA !

          
 

I also got to drive a red transport truck and go down a BIG slide!

     
 

After all the fun, it was time to go home

  I hope you liked my adventures at the SuperEx.  I'll be sure to write again soon about some of the other things I've been up to this summer.
