10 Family Friendly ways to save at the Fair at the PNE!

August 24, 2017 by Sarah 1 Comment

10 Family Friendly ways to save at the Fair at the PNE

Growing up in North Vancouver, the rides at the PNE were always a natural part of the skyline looking into Vancouver. It was a family tradition, likely until my teenage years when it was no longer cool to be seen in public with my parents, to attend the Fair each year. My Dad and I often rode the rides together while my mom browsed the Expo and the PNE coveted prize home. And today, years later, much has changed but much has also stayed the same! Now that they’re bigger and able to go on most of the rides, my kids and I relive my childhood memories, and make new ones spending hours at the Fair.

As a single mom to two kids, a day at the Fair can quickly translate into a couple day’s pay, but this year there are many ways to save at the Fair at the PNE making this a family friendly activity you’re not going to want to miss this summer.

Sometimes life is simply about being in the right Sometimes life is simply about being in the right place at the right time 📍

It was a little bit of both for me today. The amazing weather and warm temperatures called for an early dinner and a walk to the park with all four kids.

A slow shutter finger meant the fun moments from this evening will be saved to my mind camera roll as the big kid says, instead of the iPhone camera roll 💕

Today is #siblingday, who knew?! My brother is se Today is #siblingday, who knew?!

My brother is seven years older than me (and I make a point to remind him of that on the regular!) I always knew I wanted my kids to be closer in age than he and I are, but now having had baby B 11 years after my youngest I now know how much of a gift I was to my brother 🤣🤣

In all seriousness though, happy sibling day big brother!

11 years. 11 years is how long ago I received thi 11 years.

11 years is how long ago I received this Easter dress as an gift from my grandmother for my oldest daughter.

I always knew I wanted more kids, so I hoarded it away with a few of my other favourites in case my dream ever came true. 

Today, baby B donned her big sisters first Easter dress for a pandemic-safe backyard Easter egg hunt. 

I’ve tirelessly searched for a photo of Smalls in the same dress but it’s alluding me. I will find it, so stay tuned for a side-by-side. 

Hope you had a safe and hoppy Easter! 🐰

She’s pissed I wouldn’t let her win! 🤣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For those of you that are counting, we’ve now booked two private arcade dates for our family and I’m pretty sure there will be more in our future! 🕹⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
@industryarcade is just more than a stones throw away from my house, and they’re a true display of how a business can pivot during uncertain times. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Located in a warehouse in New Westminster, families can book two hour private rentals of the entire arcade space! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Industry Arcade is mostly pinball machines, but you can find some great retro and not-so-retro games that you will surely kill some time at. They also have Skee Ball which is one of my personal faves and I spent more time than I’m willing to admit attempting the high score for a free beer ticket from @anotherbeerco. I don’t drink, but I’m all for bragging rights! Another time I suppose. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re looking for a change in scenery, I highly recommend booking a private session! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are you a pinball fan?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Anyone else get excited over a new lunchbox? 🍱⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
No? Just me? Ok, nevermind then! 🤦🏻‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I picked up this @munchkincanada box the other day because who doesn’t need another lunchbox 🤷🏻‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s cute, colorful, and has a soft exterior feel. The clasp is easy to unclip which will be great for increasing toddler independence.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today’s lunch contains meatball sticks and @heinz_ca ketchup for dip dip dipping (have you seen my stories of baby B dipping her foods? 🥰), steamed veggies, a heart-shaped hard boiled egg, oranges and blackberries, rice crackers, a @squeazygear smoothie and @preschoice fruit, veggie and oat bar! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can now shop this lunch from the link in bio!
