The Orange County Fair

It's fair time again!!  We had a great time at this years fair.  It wasn't too hot, and the kids seemed to have a great time!  (Alex mostly slept and ate, but he was happy and seemed to like the noise and sounds!)

The only healthy good available at the fair!

When we bought our stroller, I totally envised us at the fair with it. (Weird, I know.) But look!  It happened!

It happened last year as well:

Colin likes the camera at home.  It's tough when we are out and about though. "Hey Colin, stand in front of this cool new thing and look at mommy and daddy who you spend every single day with it."  The animals were a big hit.  Colin successfully identified bunnies and chickens.  He was mostly concerned with what the animls were eating and pointed at the food in each pen 'eat!.'

Colin 'won' two stuffed animals by being cute to one of the guys at the carnival games stand.  

We had a great time. I can only imagine that outings like this are going to become more and more fun as the boys get older!

I like fair season, and we try to go every year.  Last year we went with Terrence on his way though California.  The year before we went with Alyssa.

This year, I didn't think we'd make it since we'd just returned from our Texas trip, but when Jax's family asked if we wanted to go, we decided to go for it.

We used the third row of our car for the first time...

Family Photos at the fair:

The boys didn't seem incredibly interested in any of the fair offerings.  Colin made a funny face at the animal smells, but we couldn't even get him to look at the actually animals!  We did take them on the Merry-go-round, but neither seemed incredibly excited about that either.  They were both pretty content just hanging out though and we had a nice trip.

Firt Ride!!

With their prizes!

Colin's Daddy and Jax's Mommy did less well:

We had a great time and after Texas, I don't think I could have been more grateful for the weather!

I'm looking forward to future years when the boys are running around driving us crazy and begging to go on upside rides and touch animals and paticipate in all the fair has to offer.  Geez, even just writing that sounds exhausting!
