A Fair Day


We finally made it to the fair yesterday. The weather was slightly cooler and still muggy. Tyler and I met up with Kat at Red Robin to have dinner then headed over to the fair. We looked at some cows, horses and llamas and ducked into an air-conditioned building to view Kat's photo of a flower. She had entered it and it was considered for judging but didn't win any prizes. Pretty cool to be in the running though which was her first photography entry. We browsed around the different categories ie. children, animals, landscapes and etc. Then I came across the golden pavillion in Kyoto photo that I had considered entering myself. I thought mine was better and you can see for yourself. The entered photo appears blurry because I tried to take a photo of it but compare the two pictures and tell me which one you like better.

Tyler had a great time playing the games. We tried tossing the pin pong balls into the floating cups, filling the moving water pitcher, and many more. We didn't win any prizes but they gave us a "pity" prize, a small Curious George monkey. I also got him some tickets and he spent lots of time in the fun house, house of glass and some other little fun house. Poor Tyler banged his head twice in the house of glass since he had the habit of leading with his head instead of with his hands. He had a great time though. We finished off that with some popcorn and more cruising the fair.

We also checked Kat's Tinkerbell collection which won first place!! Very cool!! It is always interesting to see people's collections. We saw a Pikachu collection, colbalt glass and Disney snow globes. We went to see the Parade of Products but the AC wasn't working so we left after a while. Tyler wanted to go to the kid's maze so we hung out there while he ran thru it several times. After that, we started walking out and Kat saw a booth called Hoodies for Hounds (?) which had apparel, collars and carriers for dogs. She spotted a shirt with Tinkerbell in crystals which would be perfect for her Pomeranian Cece. Too cute. I can't wait to see her in it.

I'm having problems with Blogger posting more photos so I'll do that later when things are working!!
