Sunday at the Fair

So our annual trip to the OC Fair was Sunday; this is the time where Kat and I take Tyler to enjoy all the fair goodness. None of us had any lunch so we immediately went on a search for pizza. Kathy knows the fair like the back of her hand but this year those fair gnomes decided to rearrange the food stands so we wandered for a while before finding the pizza stand. I had the hankering for a blooming onion so we shared that too. It was good but would be even better if they used some seasoning salt in the batter...a little bland. Then is was on to the rides and games. I saw the water gun game with some Sonic the Hedgehog prizes along with other stuffies. Tyler and Kat got down to business of playing this one and I helped Tyler with his aim. We came really close to winning (Tyler was second) but Kat took first place and won! Amazing and on her first attempt!! She chose the stuffed Angels bear (she loves the Angels) so she was pretty happy with her prize. Tyler got down to the fun job of picking what rides he wanted to do. He rode down the big rainbow slide, did the house of mirrors (he avoided running into the glass this year), flew the 'Superman' ride, went in the Funhouse (twice) and finally he & I rode the Ferris wheel.

All of our tickets were spent so it was back to games. We found another water shooting game and with a little help from me, Tyler won his first prize! He chose the stuffed penguin and he won at seat #7 (his age) so he was very excited. I usually love playing the ping pong ball game where you toss them at floating dishes but the prizes were so lame that I didn't bother playing it. I didn't want any weird Spiderman dolls or Strawberry Shortcake dolls but maybe this year they will have better prizes. I decided to have us all play the first water game again to maybe we could win a stuffed Sonic for Joshua. It was the 3 of us playing then another woman joined in and of course, she won. Boo! Kat bought Josh a bubble blowing gun so he'll be happy with that.

It was time for another snack so Tyler chose a banana milkshake and I had a swirl cone...so refreshing in the summertime. Tyler was done with the fair and so were we but on our way out the African gymnasts/acrobats started performing so we watched that. Overall we had a great time at the fair but it was time to head home.
