Fair Fun

Today, we braved the heat (and it was brutally hot) and the crowds and took Sofia to the California State Fair. Grandma and Grandpa accompanied us and we did all the things you are supposed to do at the fair. Sofia survived it pretty well considering the lack of a real good nap before we arrived.

Here is a not so brief summary of the day.


Awesome horse choice Sof!! Love the mohawk.



Sofia made this exchange by herself. Guess she decided that Mummy should wear the ridiculous hat and she would be quite happy with the sunnies thank you very much!


Her first roller coaster. The girl has no fear. She went all the way around over and over and over again with a grin plastered on her face. You have to look pretty close to see her little red flowers poking above the top of the seat, but I can assure you she is in there.


Ahhhhh.....a nice cool beverage.


Hanging with Grandpa and below her newest friend.



Riding the spinning balloons with Dad. Yip, she likes going in circles as well. Good thing Daddy's tummy is up to this kind of stuff.

Then we took Sofia over to the petting farm. She loves her Barclay and Jeeves but we weren't too sure how she would be with the farm animals. Not to worry....she loved them all. It was so sweet to watch the way she got down to their level. Many of them even received hugs and I am sure they would have gotten kisses too if we had allowed. I don't need to tell you just how filthy the bath water was tonight.












Snack time.




Okay, now who are these crazy people?



Riding the monorail and checking out which rides to ride next year.



Nothing else to do but finish up with an icecream.

Thank you for indulging us. We've long dreamed of having a grandchild to share the fun of the fair with. Our day at the fair with our Sweet Sofia, way surpassed our dreams.
