The Carp Fair

An excert from Bill and Jacquie who took Simon to the Carp Fair:
On arrival, we were directed to a large field and we were prepared to walk, with Simon in stroller to the fairground. However, there was a small tractor, we will call him "Dan" with a wagon attached and we rode to the entrance of the parking lot where we saw a school bus which was taking on passengers and transporting folks to the front entrance of the fair. Since Simon loves tractors and school buses, we thought this would be a treat. Up he climbs and has a window seat with many of the riders making a comment of how happy he looked to be riding the school bus. At the fair he seemed to enjoy the sights but maybe not the sounds of the midway and the rides. He did enjoy watching the quarter horses lift their legs very high and trot very fast. He also enjoyed the larger horses pulling wagons. The highlight of this activity seemed to be watching the man pick up the horse poop with a shovel and wheelbarrow. On the way back to the car, we once again opted for the school bus. The driver had apparently made arrangements with her husband to meet her at an intersection in the country with her Tim Horton's coffee. Simon eagerly climbed on the bus and went directly to the back seat window and was delighted with his drive in the country, very fast, on the school bus. He fell asleep on the way home and told Mommy and Daddy, sleepily, that he did not see any cows, only horses.
