Paddle Boats on Mill Pond

Yesterday we went to the Newington Extravaganza for a quick Saturday morning activity. It's a simple town fair with carnival rides, fair food, and vendors.  There were little paddle boats you could use, so we took a little ride on Mill Pond. Nolan was not fond of the life vest.

We saw some little turtles sunbathing and a little muskrat (probably) swimming.

Nolan may not look very happy, but he did enjoy our ride around the pond.

 There was supposed to be a petting zoo, but it was too hot for the animals. We walked through the vendors and carnivals rides (and Nolan even wanted to try a few), but said no to the ridiculously high ticket prices.  By then it was almost noon and very hot and humid, so we decided to head home. It was a short trip, but a fun Saturday morning.

  2. Little Nolan is the sweetest. Looks like a fun boat ride! Yes, fairs are always so pricey, its ridiculous.
