Brady Takes on the Big "E", a report by Brady Stack

Last weekend, Mama and Dada took me to the Big "E" fair in Springfield, MA. Uncle David, Auntie Shanna, and MacKenzie went too. I have to say, I had a great time! Here were some of my favorite parts of the weekend:

1. I got to see some guy building Fenway Park and the Boston skyline completely out of playing cards!
2. I tried corndogs, funnel cake, maple walnut fudge, and chili in a bread bowl. Yum yum!
3. I watched MacKenzie ride a pony. She had been talking about it all weekend!
4. I got to stay in a nice hotel and I slept all night long.
5. I went to see Uncle David's sister's new camper. It sleeps eleven people! They even let me play with Gizmo and Dunkin (Papelbon), the two dogs. It was a lot of fun!
6. Dada and I watched some guy give a cooking show on how to make French omlettes.
7. Dada and I watched a presentation on the "wonder knife", which was only $19.99...I told Dada we should have bought it!
8. I tried to get Mama to go on this big roller coaster ride with me, but she wouldn't. Instead, we played some water gun game. I didn't even get a prize!
9. I got to see the six state pavilions. The worst one was Vermont..too many people. But they did have a Ben & Jerry's shop in it.
10. Finally, I got to see some of the Patriots Cheerleaders. Theyw ere signing autographs, but when I asked Mama if I could go meet them, she told me I was too young. Oh well, maybe next year!

Did you get a famous Maine baked potato????

I don't even like baked potatoes, but these ones are so delicious!

If the weather is good we're going this weekend. I haven't been in a few years.

I couldn't figure out why anyone would wait for over an hour for a potato...is it really that good?

They really are!!!

I've waited an hour before with some high school friends, and it was well worth the wait! We amused ourselves in line by singing songs by The Cranberries, which I now realize was probably pretty annoying for the others in line...hmm, oh well. =) Maybe that was a ploy to get people out of the line so it moved faster for us...but even that didn't deter the locals.

Hmmm...you Sprigfield people are a little strange indeed...:)
