Last Friday we went to the Ventura County Fair.
Kent and I love to "eat our way around the fair"
and this year was no exception. And we thought we'd
check out the livestock for Jack's sake.

Here Kent is showing of is prize winning cow
(who looks amazingly like Jack).
Jack loved looking at all the animals. His favorite animal
was the rooster. It crowed at him, which he thought was
hilarious. His least favorite animal was the turkey. For some
reason the turkey really spooked him.
My favorite was seeing the mama sow and her
12 little piggies. Can you imagine 12 babies at once?
INSANITY!
Gotta take a photo of an old fireman in front of
the old fashioned firetruck. Dad, you're my hero.
Kent's favorite gimmick of the night was the Turkey
Race. As you can see, all the turkeys are chasing
a red truck full of feed. If you've never seen turkeys
race you just haven't really lived!
By the way, the Red turkeys were the winners.

Eating through the fair is hard work; we started with
giant corn,then had fish tacos, candy coated almonds,
dippin' dots,and topped it all off with
hot gooey cinnamon rolls.
You know it's time to go home when Jack starts to wilt.
At least he's extra cuddly when he's tired.
Grandpa didn't seem to mind.
Look at that smile...
Oh, and I promise I was at the fair too. It's hard to
be the camerawoman and still be in the shots.

How fun! I keep telling Rich that we need to go to a county fair. He associates fairs with carnivals (even though they are different) and his last experience at a carnival was not a pleasant one. Maybe this year I can convince him though! (Although I am sure that the Ventura County Fair is a lot more fun than those around here!)
I love county fairs. Ours happens to be this weekend and James and I are headed to Oregon with my parents for my brother's baby blessing. I am totally planning on the state fair which is sometime in September (I think). James had fun last year and he'll totally get it this year - the animals, the kiddie area, etc. FUN! FUN!
How fun is that! I would love to take lydia to a fair to eat and see the animals. Doesn't it smell great.
That looks like a fun time at the fair. I love the Ventura Fair! Jack is the cutest kid. He even looks cute as a cow. ;) I love the picture of Jack and "Grandpa" so tender.
