OC Fair!

In case you can't read this sign, all of these foods say "Totally FRIED" at the top. I actually thought a fried s'more could be interesting. Fried hamburger? Not so much.

Dear Kate and Riley,

Today we headed out on a little adventure. We had heard from some friends that opening HOUR of the OC Fair would have FREE parking and FREE admission! Couldn't pass that up, could we? So Zach and I headed over to the fair to meet up with some friends. Little did we know that just about all the rest of Orange County had the same idea. Zach and I somehow lucked out and took so long to get there that we met up with our friends in line just in time to get IN to the fair (thanks Megan and HB friends for waiting in line for us!). It was a scorcher of a day but when its free, no one complains.

Zach LOVED all the animals which is great because, well, they too are free! We went to the "farm", the petting zoo and the livestock area. That was about all our kiddos could take in the heat which was just about perfect for me too. We had so much fun and I was surprised at how brave he was with the animals. We definitely want to go back with Dad (and to indulge in a little fair food, somehow funnel cake and fried twinkies don't sound as good when its 100 degrees outside!).

Happy we made it inside, despite the crowds

Loving the sheep. He was so brave! I think I was more nervous, I thought he was going to get a finger bit off!

What's he grinning about here? Chickens. Really. They were apparently VERY exciting chickens.

He really liked the little goats. But the big ones kept bumping into him and making him nervous.

He LOVED this pig. Loved him. It was so cute.

See?

The "wewo" cow. Zach LOVES yellow. In fact, pretty much EVERYTHING is yellow (to him). But when something actually IS yellow, well that makes it all the better.

Love,
Mom
