San Diego County Fair 2015!

 We had a great time at the Fair today.
It took a lot longer to get there than anticipated as we were stuck at the exit ramp for a loooong time.  Next year, we'll take another route and just zip into the parking lot.  We walked through the 4H animal barn and made animal noises.  The kids loved seeing the hogs, sheep and cows.  Then we hit up some food and on to the kids section for rides!

Ferris Wheel fun!  

Elena, Charlie and I went round and round and round the Ferris Wheel!

Yes Charlie, we are up really high!

Beautiful day to spend at the Fair!  

(Yes, that is the ocean in the background...we are spoiled!)

Cheese!!

A relaxing ride :)

Pelican Splash / Log Ride

Daddy giving Elena tips on how to drive the bumper car.

He gave great instruction and she had a blast driving around!

And onto the Carousel!

First time Charlie rode on a moving animal.  He was excited until we started moving.

And here we go!

Daddy had fun running around the Carousel with us!

Elena thought Daddy was hilarious!!

Being goofy

Holding on tight!

Elena's expression says "Seriously...you're going to take my picture again?!"

Floating canoes were fun!

A little pick me up piggy back ride :)

Ummm...that can't possibly be our little girl.  She looks so long...catching up to Daddy.

It's been a great day.  We ran into some old friends, ate good food and better ice cream, had fun on some rides, saw a monster truck, some animals and a lot of people.  We escaped with the same size waistline as we went in with, no sunburns, no tears and a few laughs...success!

And the kids claimed they weren't tired.  Both passed out on the ride home and continued to sleep in the car while it was parked in the garage.

Life is good.  Hope all is well in your corner of the Earth!!
