the fair

Today we went to the Del Mar Fair! This years theme was *Salute our Heroes*. The military didn't get in free or with a discount! What a salute...

first things first. We saw the livestock. oh joy! the smell is putrid. But Colby did manage to find the *batman* goat! he was thrilled!!!
personally, this one was my fave! he just looked like a German wrestler named Fritz with black socks! loved it! even Jo-Squish got his *goat* on! He was ok until the goat knocked him over, then he looked scared, but all was fine again after he sat up! Anyway we still had a good time. James had a field trip with the summer program and they went to the fair too! So we met up with his group as they were leaving and he stayed the rest of the time with us! We took the boys on rides and Colby won a Shrek Baby! he was so excited! James won a fish but had to leave it with his leader when they went back to school because 2 other boys put their fish in his tank...don't ask, very confusing and what a fiasco it caused! aahhhh, summer fun at the fair...

....One thing the fair is good for is this...
the *Australian Battered Potatoes*....we wait all year for these bad boys! OH MY! i was very good though, only ate one and let the boys eat the rest. what will power! cuz they were goooooood. ;)



After we ate we rode the Sky tram across the fair and went on a few ridesColby was able to ride a bunch of rides this year. But he looked so serious! I don't know if he was terrified or just tired.


James did a buch of *spinning* rides, you know the kind that maked you hurl your Aussie Chips! He sure loves those rides, though! so serious he did get to do the slide this time and he really enjoyed it! we finally got home around 5:00 pm after leaving the house around 10:00 am. What a *LONG* day! i'm beat and sunkissed! i love summer...
