OC Fair 2010

This week the boys and I made our annual pilgrimage to the Orange County Fair.  Money was spent, rides were ridden, food was consumed, animals were viewed (and sometimes petted), and a good time was had by all.  Some highlights were; Drew's deep-fried Snickers bar (verrrry rich and yummy), Josh being stunned by the size of a full-grown sheep (are they really THAT big??), Josh reporting to Eric at the end of the day, "We saw sheep!  And naked sheep!"  Yes, sheared sheep, lol.  The day was made complete by the Alaskan pig races, a few more rides on roller coasters, a hot dog on a stick, and ice cream.  Whew.  Here are the pictures!

On the spinning boat ride thingie, pre-spin.

The very first ride of the fair!

Josh's first ride was fraught with nerves.  He got off all smiles, though. :)

Bazinga!  Bonus point to those who know what that is from!

See, they get along sometimes!

Monkey!

Drew was persuaded to ride the kiddie train for another year...

....and made the best of it!

60 inch height limit - this'll be the last year he can ride this one!

Spider swings!

I think he enjoyed this one!

Happy Bouncing Boys

Josh told everyone that this was his First. Snowcone. EVER!  It wasn't, but he was pretty darn thrilled with it.

Drew and his deep fried Snickers bar, which looked very much like a corndog.

After the log flume ride (which Josh didn't want to ride, but LOVED)

Josh was determined to get on the Skyway, and he did - twice!  Very very happy guy.

Awesome OC sunset!
