This coming Monday will mark an end of summer tradition in my family, and that is we are going to the Canadian National Exhibition here in Toronto! It is otherwise known with affection to the local as the EX.

The EX is a giant fair, but now that the kiddos are all teenagers we go more for the shopping, and food then the midway or games. In honour of this family tradition, and of course Nostalgic Saturday (my first with this blog, I used to participate with the Urban Zoo blog but it seems more fitting here) I have decided to share some vintage photos of my Mom and me at The EX circa 1970. Yes, I am that old.

The rocket or airplane rides were always my favourite!

The "Fish Pond" game. I wish I still had a hat like that!

I do not appear to be too happy to be driving. I probably was annoyed that it just went round the track as opposed to the cooler flying rides.

Hope you are all having a great weekend, and thank you for stopping by!

Also big thanks as always to Abbey for putting together this fun meme. Why not join in?!
