Celine's Life Adventure

After Sunday Mass, Jomar and I took Bus 14 all the way to the PNE Fair. PNE Fair Food, Rides, Raffle, and so much more It reminded me of my high school fair, but with more things to do, like watching a dog show, going to the petting zoo, admiring the dinosaur display, and rides.
