The amusement park

We drove an hour and a half today in search of the "Anne of Green Gables Country Fair" that we had read about in the tourist guide. Lured by livestock, homemade pies, period reenactors, and general Anne of Green Gables folklore we set out for Cavendish. Much to our dismay, the promised country fair, was a series of events stretched out over several days and not a fair at all. Because we had no internet to fact check this fair, the tourism folks had duped us.

Disappointed that there would be no strawberry rhubarb pie, but not to be deterred, we made the most of the day. Instead, we enjoyed lunch and an afternoon of amusement rides.

Evan went on most of the rides by himself. He particulary enjoyed the Giant Fun Slide, and the bumper cars (with Dad). He was less fond of the Ferris Wheel, which terrified him with each revolution. However, it was the Tilt a Whirl, which he insisted he wanted to try, that was the scariest and funniest, depending upon your perspective. What started as delighted giggling soon turned to a look of abject horror once the real spinning began. The look on his face was priceless. Although, I couldn't tell for sure if it was just fear, or if he might be sick.

After the ride had finished he bonded off all smiles. "That one wasn't my favorite. It was a little bit scary"
