Sunday at the fair
Written by Kate. Filed Under katelyn, life, photography
My Sunday at the fair was a funny one. As usual I went to the community centre to help with the registration for the baby show that my aunt organizes. Mic and I love signing up the parents and babies so we can see all the cuteness! This year we knew a few babies so that makes it more exciting. Scott (my husband) came up and said he wanted to pre-register a baby, for 2012 (ummm we have to wait that long?)… haha funny boy.
We had one mom register that said something a bit odd, she didn’t want to go up with the baby (she also had a 2 year old with her), but wanted her sister-in-law to bring up her baby and her SIL’s baby! And these babies were only 3 months old. I asked the mom if she wanted me to look after the 2 year old, but she said no, she wanted to look after him… umm okay, if you think your SIL can handle 2 babies up there, then okay! Then my aunt talked to her and offered me to go up with the baby… and she said yes! I felt like a fraud walking up there (all these moms went through so much, and I get handed a baby and say, okay go on up), and it was pretty funny, considering it is a small town and I knew there would be lots of talk… ‘one of the blonde girls has a kid??’ It was especially funny when I was up sitting on the stage, next to a friend when I see Scott’s parents walk in. I gave them a little wave and laughed, and had to wonder what they were thinking.
Then when I was up there I realized I didn’t know the babies name. Luckily I was sitting next to the babies aunt, so I sheepishly asked her… umm what is this babies name? Gosh I’m a bad mother! It was quite the experience! My aunt took a picture so if she sends it to me I’ll try and put it up… it probably looks pretty funny. At some fall fairs, the point of the baby show is to find the cutest baby in town. Not at ours! At our fair the judges award every baby with a prize based on their looks, outfit, or personality.”My” baby won the biggest flirt award!
After all that fun was over the rest of the day was pretty normal.. as usual I took more pictures and walked around with Scott’s parents and then met up with more friends to watch the demolition derby.

Ilderton Fair is this weekend.. I think we definitely got the better weather. Even if I didn’t know it was going to be 27 degrees and I wore a sweater and a vest!

LOL that’s really funny about you and the baby!
I love fairs. Since I moved to Toronto, I don’t get to go to the ones in my hometown anymore. Sigh.
