The entire family (the 4 of use and the inlaws) went to the PNE today. There was free admission until noon or else each person would cost $20 to get in. We were lucky enough to find street parking (after 20 minutes of driving around) and just made it into the gates at 11:52am. Phewf.
There was so many people around, it was difficult to walk around. Good thing Jasmine and Julia happily sat in the double stroller for the first 15 minutes. And then started to fuss. I put Julia into my Ergo and carried her around. For Jasmine, we had to leash her in case she ran off (which she did many times!) Jasmine was like a loose animal, running here and there. THANK GOD we had that leash!
It was very crowded and took 30 minutes to walk from one side of the PNE to the other. There were huge line ups for everything. After 3 hours, we decided to leave, and we didn't even get to see anything. We managed to eat some ribs, perogies and soggy fish and chips ($30) before leaving. As we left the gates, Richard and I got a stamp, so that we could re-enter again later that night.
6 hours later - Richard, Lynn and I went back to the PNE after Jas and Julia are in bed. We really wanted to view the lottery house, eat some tasty chicken and sugar donuts. But we got there too late. The lottery house closed at 10pm and the chicken stand had only leftovers left. We did eat 2 bags of sugar donuts though.
All in all, this year's PNE wasn't as fun as we'd hoped it to be. Hopefully next year when Jasmine and Julia are a year older, it'll be a better experience for us.

You were brave to go! I would be scared to go as it would be so much work.
