OC Fair

Thursday is the kids and my special outing day for the summer. It happened to coincide with the special the OC Fair has that kids 12 & younger get in free and unlimited rided wristbands (until 8pm) were sold for $25. Yeah, double rewards.


Le Grand Wheel.

I did plan on staying for a while so we ate lunch before the fair and spent $ mostly on snacks/drinks like the standard cotton candy and popcorn.

We did a lot more walking around this time and started at the Kid Zone but this year we noticed that Tyler was a tad too tall/big to go on some of the kiddy rides. Luckily they were kind of cheesy so Josh had no problem going on them in a short time. The kids were good about checking things that I wanted to see or they'd sit in the shade with a cold drink & talk. :)

We then went to the bigger rides and Josh won't do anything extreme so they were content to do the house of mirrors, funhouse etc until their wristbands ran out. We kept zigzagging back n forth and finally ended back at the kidzone where lots of cool insects were displayed along with several snakes. We even got to see the handler feeding the scorpion. Pretty cool.

While we were there, we heard the announcement for the eating contest and Tyler wanted to do it. He managed to squeak into the last spot and eat some strawberry shortcake.  Tyler didn't win the contest but he was thrilled to have an extra dessert  plus eat it with his hand. :)

Feeding Frenzy

All gone, just remnants of whipped cream left.

Overall, we had a super fun time at the fair. Hopefully, Kat's knee will be better when we go next time!! This time I shot in RAW and so far Lightroom imports it so I can view, tweak it if necessary and save as jpeg so I can upload to Flickr/blog. That's the kind of workflow I was looking for! It does take me longer than before but I'm still learning the ins and outs of Lightroom. :)
