The Fair in Orange County

After picking Rhys up from school, we headed down to Orange County to meet up with Auntie Hilary, Uncle John and Henry for a day of fun in the hot, hot sun at the OC Fair! We arrived at the fair grounds around 11:30a and stood in line for a little before heading into the fair. It was a beautiful and slightly warm day with a wonderful breeze. The weather this time around was much better than a couple of years ago when it felt like steam was coming out of our ears.


First order of business was lunch and there after we attacked the rides. There were a few times when Rhys broke out into a run and evaded our tight grips. When he did we had to make a mad dash for his ride of choice. Rhys being as small and quick as he is compared to the general public, was able to gently but persistently needle his way to the front of the line thinking he was in! Alas! He was always tripped up by either lack of a ticket, or our ever reaching hands.


We took some time to cool off in this exhibit of insects and reptiles.


We even took some time visiting our old next door neighbor's booth.


All in all the boys had fun, as did the grown ups (feasting on fair fare)! On the way home I had to keep pinching myself to stay awake, because I was so tired all I really wanted was to join the boys in some zzzzzzzs!
