County Fair Baby!

So up here in Northern California, the 'Fair' is a big deal. We've lived here almost 4 years, and I always manage to skip it. Thanks to my good friend Kels, I was talked into going this year. I just hate large groups of people, it reminds me of Walmart in Oklahoma in my 20s... which is usually what you come across at a fair-like-environment! It ended up being super fun, and I had some world famous corn-dog which kept me full all the way through cocktail hour!

Here we are at the get go: Keegan in Maggie's old backpack for the first time. Waiting for Kelsey, Sadie and Josie to hit the fairgrounds:



After checking out 9 piglets eating dinner off a big 'ole mama pig, seeing sheep (smooth and fuzzy alike) goats, cows, and chickens, we hit my personal highlight. I used to favor myself as a Bud girl in my college days, and the only cheap beer in our fridge is Bud Light, so it was fun to see the official Budweiser Clydesdales! And the polka dot doggie too, from the super-bowl commercials! Here are the girls, unaware that they are with the Thunderbirds of horses!
Next was the racing cars. Maggie kept saying to Sadie "Sadie, it's bumpy!"
Then we went on the Dumbo ride. Kelsey has the pictures on her camera, since I had to ride with the girls because they were under 42 inches. Then the little ones hopped on this Australian Kangaroo adventure ride. They were so sweet and honestly happy!
So 3 hours past morning nap time, baby Kong melted into my backpack. Not bad.
More pictures to follow. A fun day with great friends.
