The OC Fair

It's that time for the annual OC Fair again!  This is really an annual event that we go to each and every year.  It really doesn't change much at all but lots of fun!  We don't spend much time there at all but just enough for it to be fun.  We always go on a weekday and after work for a few hours is plenty for us.  This year we won free tickets so all we had to pay for was parking.  Admission was all free.  Thanks to the OC Register and Grandma Jennie and her secret hidden words.  

Mylee eating while and just hanging out with me while big sis is in line with her daddy for the big slide!  When they got close we went to watch them and Mylee was excited to see them coming down!  Shaking her legs and arms with excitement!  It was so cute!

Press play to see the video of Makayla and her daddy!  She loves this giant slide from last year also!  I hope it was worth the wait because it was kind of long for a fair ride.  And boy were there some rude people in line!  Don't people realize there are kids all around and need to watch their potty mouths!  Sad that his kids were right there and he was cussing and impatient!  If I was closer I would've smacked him one!  Big jerk since my daughter had to hear all that!

We're now hungry for some dinner.  Usually at fairs it's known for their fried foods and we usually get fried foods.  But my daughter is on the healthier side and wanted a baked potato.  It was good and perfect for Mylee to eat with us too since she's no longer on baby food.  Not bad with all the fixings!

Now Makayla is ready to ride the elephant!  The giant elephant won over the pony ride this year.  I still can't believe that's what she wanted to do.  It was fun and she enjoyed the ride.  It was pretty bumpy!
Her being cheesy!  I didn't tell her to do this.   She told me to take her picture in this. So cute when she asked.  Scrapbook daughter in training I hope!
Riding some more rides with her Daddy!
Big girl riding by herself on this one.  She's been really into Aladdin lately so this was perfect and it's pink her favorite color!  Right before this ride she won a gold fish to take home too.  It was in pink little fishy tank and she was thrilled about bringing this home.  We'll see if it survives.
Now for some yummy BBQ corn on the cob!  This is one of my favorites at the fair!  As you can see my daughter loves it also!  She's been making silly faces when eating lately.  And making growling noises while she's at it.  While we were eating we bumped into my boss and his wife also. Small world!  It was nice for them to see my girls since it's been a long time.
Then we moved onto a few more games since we had a few more tickets.  And Makayla wanted to win some prizes but we didn't. Oh well, not like we need another toy at our house.  She was pretty good about letting that go too.  
Another silly girl picture.  My little lemon head!

Mylee has had enough fun for tonight!
While sis slept we were wrapping things up since it was getting late.  Makayla resting her feet for a little massage.  Not really, just pretending.
Now this is Ry's favorite at the fair. The only fried thing we had, amazing enough the funnel cake with strawberries and whip cream!  He was happy and so was his daughter with another silly face and big mouth going growl!
