Playing Fair

My bestie Jaime invited us to the San Diego County Fair to check out the band she is playing keyboards for now, Runhoney . She was kind enough to get me in for free and all we had to pay  for was parking! I wasn't sure if we would, but we ended up having a really great time. Afton played some carnival games, went on rides all by himself, and even made some artwork.

He really liked throwing the darts. It was nice that they always let the little kids win. He was so proud of himself. 

Afton's eyes bulged out of his head when I told him he could go on this...

This is what he picked as his next ride. You'd have thought it was the greatest ride ever and not just a slow moving canoe in knee high water. He totally loved it!

Rowan enjoyed people watching and pointing at random things. She did get to go on the carousel and giggled and smiled the whole time. 

Another ride with water! He thought it was cool that he could drive the bumper boat all by himself.

Mr. Brave decided that this would be his next ride.  Unfortunately the height requirement didn't match his decision. Thank goodness! I could just see me having to climb up there and bring him down when he realized how high it was.

This funhouse had the same height requirement as the crazy tall slide but the carnie (that is the correct term right? ha!) lady let him go anyway.

Farm animals are always fun.

There was a sand art booth set up that was pretty cool. I pulled off the sticky tape and Afton picked out all the colors and poured on the sand. 

Runhoney! The reason we went to the fair in the first place! Jaime is amazing. She learned all the songs, basically, the night before. Afton kept his ears plugged but Rowan loved the loud music. 

To finish off our visit we had fried Oreos. Need I say more?
