LA county faire!



WE LOVE the LA FAIR! This year, like years before we packed up the car... this time a little more creatively since we have the Mini now, and the kiddos and our tons and tons of bottles of water and headed up to Pomona to the LA fairgrounds. We got there a little early since we were braving the last Saturday of the fair and had a few hours of wandering the shopping halls and food aisles before it got crazy busy. We've been dealing with insane weather here in southern California so throughout the humid day we got a bit of rain, some lightening, 90 degree heat and even our share of blue skies! We were glad to get out of the heat and walk through a 17 degree freezer featuring ice sculptures of Los Angeles. It was very cool (pun definitely intended)!
Kiddos enjoyed the petting zoo and we got replacement food since a crazy goat snatched ours out of my hands! JT and Mr B zip lined (JT after a little coaxing) and looked so cool doing it. It was a nice warm up for our dream vackay of zip lining over Hawaii!
We grubbed down on kabobs, roasted corn, a cinnamon roll, cinnamon roasted pecans and almonds, frozen chocolate bananas, soft serve ice cream, giant hot dog, and tons of Muscle Beach Lemonade (only $2 refills!)
We're reminiscent every year of the time Mr B broke his ankle while working the Toyota exhibit when JT was just 9 months old! Toyota still has a large display there as a major sponsor but the Xgames trampoline is since absent.
JT got a wallet (which he's been asking for 2 of his dollars to go shopping for one) for only a dollar and we scored on some sillybandz (maybe they're knock offs but he was jazzed about it). Bought a giant safe finally after years and years of looking, cinnamon roasted pecans and almonds, and other things that we probably don't need but can't resist. Lol. Always a fun time together as a little Boothohana, we loveLOVEloved the faire! Come with us next year!
