We made it to the OC Fair this year and were not disappointed. I've expressed my love for the fair in the past - love the atmosphere, the people, the food, the crazy attractions, the rides, I love it all. With our kids being another year older, and the many, many more attractions at the OC Fair v. the UT Fair, our kids had quite the fun night full of fair-dom. Our first stop was to see the Giant Horse, then the livestock, and over to the All Alaskan Racing Pigs. It was a cute show and the kids loved it.
After eating way too much fair food (think pizza, corn dogs, french fries, etc.) we decided to hit a few rides. Finnley's only request was to ride the giant slide....so she got to ride it twice!
Mmmm....mini cinnamon sugar donuts! See, i just can't help but love the fair.
At the end of our fun-filled night, we gave each of our kids enough tokens to play a game. We were nervous they'd both miss the balloon and be heartbroken but, TADA, Finn threw it and... "POP"! I've never seen her so excited in my life. Then little D hopped up and "POP", 2 for 2.
Finn chose this cute orange dog as a prize and has been toting it around with pride ever since. She even sleeps with her. I love the little things that make such an impression on kids. At this age, just simply winning a game can give our Finnley amazing amounts of confidence. Its great.
So, if you're thinking about hitting up the OC Fair, I would say "GO". If not only for the chocolate dipped or fried everything, but the people watching, atmosphere, and those mini donuts really are dang good. Plus, kids are free and you can see the worlds largest alligator. He He!
