fun's where the fair's at

It was that time of year and so we went to the CNE!



It was kinda muggy and kinda hot and kinda crowded, but we managed to see some butter sculptures and ride some rides and look at the merchandise. We saw about half of a stage hypnotist's act. There was a reptile exhibit that included a guy walking around with a tarantula on his hand. Shain's not big on spiders and this was as close as she'd get.



There was also a tank.



The CNE's over for the year and the traffic has already improved considerably. See ya next year CNE!

african lion safari

About an hour from here is African Lion Safari, one of those drive-thru wildlife parks that used to be all the rage, and still are, I guess. This one is kinda neat.



Yes, there are lions, just sort of hanging around not doing a whole lot. Plenty of other animals too.

I took a bunch of pictures and they are behind the cut! ( click here to see the animals )
