our fair

The Del Mar Fair (cause who wants to say 'The San Diego County Fair, at the Del Mar Fair Grounds'?) no people, it's the Del Mar Fair. Any way, we did the fair this year in spurts. We had a fair long pass so we showed up at opening, and left as the crowds got crazy many times. Just before the fair opened I found a big red wagon with two seats for $20 at a thrift store. Perfect! And we will never again go to the fair with out a wagon. So much easier to keep track of a 3 year old and a 5 year old in an insane crowd when you are pulling them along in a wagon. Baby was strapped to me. And yes, I do believe I lost some weight, and put on some muscle in the last month. Who needs a gym? Life is my gym.




We did lots of rides






Played some gamesRaced Cars



Saw lots and lots of animals




And Mikey wanted to pet every one of them. We saw pigs with names like Snookie, Optimus Prime, and even Mikey. Kaitlyn breaking the "don't touch the cows" rule. Although we were not really the ones touching. Friendly baby cow that wanted to taste my leg. Did you know cows have tongs like a cat? Goat milkingAnd piggy racing.
Mikey's whale wall. He loved this wall so much he even posed for a picture with it. This kid is a hard one to get a picture of, but he hammed it up for his whale wall. We did some shopping, including making cute little name necklaced for Rhiannon and Kaitlyn. I offered Mikey, but he was not into it. He went for the giant blow up T Rex instead. And Kaitlyn learned how to say "Pillow Pet". We saw some cool things. We walked through the air conditioned galleries when it got hot, no taking pictures aloud in there. Yellow cars! Michael's favorite thing.Noisy remote control cars flying over dirt mounds. Cars!

And we ate some yummy food, and lots of lemonade.
We stayed away from fried. Our taste is more for the sweet. :) The strawberry tower and the corn were our favorites.




































The fair is an awesome kick of to summer. The rest of the summer will be lots of time in the pool, some time at the beach, maybe a water slide park? or two?, and some warm summer nights spent some where fun our side. Till next year fair..
