OC Fair
Sunday afternoon we went to the Orange County Fair. It's fun, but I really don't know why we waste our time and $100 for 2 hours of 'blah'. First off, we know it's always super crowded. Derek likes the animals, but he can see the same animals at his grandparents house in Norco. We pay $6 for a corn dog that he wanted so bad and he took one bite out of. Then we buy 20 tickets for $10 to take Derek on a few rides. Well the Ferris wheel cost 18 tickets for 2 adults. So our $10 got us 1 Ferris wheel ride! Are you kidding me? And Derek was pretty nervous the whole time, as was I. I have a fear of heights but I thought I was okay on Ferris wheels. I hated it more than our little man! Especially when you have to stop and you're at the top... yuck! The only real enjoyable part was the $8 pony ride for about 3 minutes. Derek loved it, and we got a few cute pictures. Anyway, after only an hour and half Derek was sick of it and for some reason we had spent $100... weird! Here are a few pictures of the short day.

Cute pics of D on the horse. I have to say, I hate fairs and things like that. As much as i love my fam and friends, and meeting new and interesting people, I am REALLY NOT a people person. I hate going to places like that that are so crowded. I'm always grossed out by most of them (i know sounds so mean) and it's hot and i get thirsty! i'd be worse that a toddler whining at the fair.
PS- what camera are you using these days?
Ewwww, I hate fairs, hate rides, and hate to spend 100 dollars on so little!!!! Sorry for the waste!
When I saw your heading, I was thinking that sounded fun. But you're right. To really have fun with kids, you have to spend lots of money. I liked going as a teen. We could see free concerts and I don't really know. Wandering around with a group of friends seems to occupy 17 year old girls for a long time. I LOVE to people watch and the fair attracts all kinds. I always liked the OC Fair.
So fun!!!! When is the fair over...this weekend? I went for the first time last year when Sammy was only 2 months...so I'm excited to go this year, but perhaps we missed it? Looks like D had a great time!
How funny. At least you got a blog post and some cute pictures out of it right??? I usually like the fair. Never been to the OC Fair usually the San Diego one and Yes they sure are expensive!
