For a little date night this past Saturday, we thought we would check out the Orange County fair since it is our year to go. We seemed to have formed a habit of going every other year. So we were joking around that this is our year to go and we have to keep up with tradition. : )
We also followed signs for free parking and shuttle from the South Coast area to the Fair. It was great and so much easier than paying to park and have to fight the fair traffic.
I have never seen the pig races, so we headed back to the farm to watch them. It was so fun to watch. These little pigs were very enthusiastic about running around that track for their food! :) It was really cute!
On the way out, they gave us all coupons for free bacon......ya......that seemed a bit wrong, but we do love bacon! : )
(below is Brody's "sad face" about free bacon after just watching the pigs...but it looks like hes about to smile....haha)
When you think of the fair, you think of the food. We didn't go too crazy or eat any crazy deep fried things, but we did have some great BBQ!
But we should have guessed that the portions would be HUGE! I had what seemed like over half of a chicken on my plate. Summer after next, we will have to share a plate. ; )
This face painter has been at the fair FOREVER! My friends and I used to get our faces painted by him every time we went, since we were in the single digits. He was MIA for a bit though. So when he appeared again, I had to get a small one for old times sake. : )
Then we headed over to watch all the guys from the X Games turn some tricks.
That was pretty fun to see, I have never seen this live.
When I heard that the fair was selling Deep Fried Butter, I was sure it was some sort of horrible rumor.....but no, it was real, and we were not brave enough to try it! : ) They also had chocolate covered bacon and a deep fried Krispy Kreme Donut Chicken Sandwich. (I think I need some Pepto just typing that last one out) ; )
We settled for sharing a cinnamon roll with cream cheese frosting. It was the best cinnamon roll I have ever had!! I need to learn how to make a roll like that. : )
We had a great time just strolling around the fair, looking at all the sights and sounds. Looking at the cute animals and all the crazy people the trust the big scary fair rides!
...and of course you have to take a trip to the photo booths!
We love those, they are a lot of fun! : )
It was a great night at the fair!!
