Kidsfaire

We heard about this Kidsfaire at the O.C. Fairgrounds and decided to check it out for a bit today.  We had a coupon for Makayla and it had a picture of Dora on it so she kept telling me all week she was going to see Dora.  I hope we find her while we're here.  It was a gloomy morning but then turned out to be pretty hot and nice out.  The faire had a lot of vendors selling kids stuff but there were also a lot of fun things for the kids to do also.  When we first got there she got a cute Home Depot kids apron for playing a little toss the bean bag game.  Then she won a puck a the Ducks booth.  Check out the pictures below to see what Makayla got to do in addition to this.  I know a lot of these posts are of Makayla but her little sis Mylee attends most of these events with big sis but she's usually sleeping so the pictures are not so exciting of her.
This was a cute little booth selling their face painting services for kids parties.  They did this for free for her and she picked out a little pink kitty cat face off of the samples.  She just loves getting her face painted and she sits so still and is so good for the artist every time.  Meow!
The Lowes booth taught the kids how to plant their own flowers.  Here's Makayla pouring dirt into her little pot.  She picked out a real pretty pink flower.  This was free too!  Hope we can keep it alive when we get home.
She found Dora and Boots!  Good thing we were in the area when Dora came out and we saw her pretty quickly and amazingly enough her line wasn't too long at all.  Makayla's been getting braver taking pictures with the Giant characters.  We saw Spongebob come out next and boy is he popular, but Makayla really doesn't know who he is so good thing we didn't have to stand in that line too.
Our little kitty cat doesn't look too happy on the choo choo train, but she really is.....she's just making sure we're still there since she's such a big girl and riding all by herself now.  She did have fun!

Then she chose to ride in the giant bear with Daddy.  This spins like the teacups but not so fast. 

This was a mini swing and she got to ride it all on her own too.  Getting to be such a big girl and tall enough for these small rides.
