OC Fair 2009

Orange County Fair 2009


We just love the fair! It has been a tradition that we go ever year with Brett's family. I think I had only been one other time when I was 19 on a date otherwise I never went growing up. Being almost 6 months pregnant did not deter me! I wanted my fried zucchini, and it was everything I had hoped for.

We got there before Brett's parents and Kami so we took Gwenie to see the livestock.

Looking at cows


This cow (I forget what they call it specifically) had the hugest horns ever!!!

a cow with horns?!?!


Last year Gwenie rode the horses and she LOVED it, so that is what we did first this year and again she loved it. Here is last years OC fair post.

b & w horse ride


so happy


huge smiles


After we ate all of our yummy, to much of it to eat it all, food we took Gwenie on rides. She was not tall enough last year for any of them so this was our first experience with it. She wanted the slide first. I said I would go on it with her since it is just a slide.

Here we are before we get on the ride. Before I had any idea of what I was getting myself into. Like my new sunglasses that I just got that day at the fair?

My girl & I


Ready....Set...

Golieth Slide


Go!

Wow that was fast!


It went soooo fast, I was not prepared.

I needed a break, hehe.

our fam


Then she rode the pirate ship

and then we did the slide again. She loved that the most.

Brett did not want Kami to take his picture while Gwenie and I were on the slide a second time, he is so funny.

didn't want his pic taken


She got this good one of Mom & Dad, to bad we didn't get any with Kami in it. Did you plan that Kami???

My in laws


We took Gwenie to the petting zoo portion of the fair since she loves animals and loved it last time, but this time she wanted someone to hold her the whole time. It was really cool to be there. This year they had Kangaroos and baby deer and lots of baby pigs that they did not have last year. So sad I didn't get a cute picture of Gwenie hugging a goat this year.(see last years post)

After all of that we walked around and got dessert, but not before we got one pic of Gwenie in some cheese!

Say cheese!


It was a great time! If you are ever in the OC (don't call it that) around July/August don't forget to stop by the Fair.

Such great pictures! They all turned out beautiful. I didn't know what I was in for the first time I did one of those slides, either --- suppppper fast!

I did mastermind a plan to not appear in any of the pictures. I'm so glad my plan worked, it's like I was never there!

The pics of everyone else did turn out great though, especially the ones of you guys on the slide. What a great photographer you had! ;) It was fun, I do love the fair!

I have never been to the OC fair. We always went to the LA County fair. Love the fair terrified of the rides. We'll have to check out the OC fair some time. I love walking around. So weird to see Brett in a beard.

Great pictures Darci! I especially love the black and white ones!

Confession: I have never been to the fair! John is not much of a fair person either, so we just have never been. Crazy huh?

I haven't been to the fair since I was really little. All the colors and pictures make me want to go. I can't get over how much Gweni has grown...we haven't seen her in so long and I haven't been in blogland forever...anyway, cute pictures and fun post!
