The Orange County Fair

At the last minute we decided to go to the Orange County Fair. We picked up our friends, Bekka and Nic, and went to stuff ourselves with good, fried fair food. We went last year with them, and now it is starting to become a tradition. As soon as we got there Brian and I realized we forgot the diaper bag. Brian drove all the way home to get it since it had her diapers and food.

Savannah is really into grabbing faces right now. She likes to laugh when she puts her hand on people's cheeks.

I started the feeding frenzy with corn on the cob dipped in melted butter, then fresh potato chips covered in nacho cheese. After that I bought a small bag of Boston Baked Beans (my favorite candy) while we looked though the exhibits. Then it was a fully loaded giant baked potato and fried mushrooms.

The final item of the day was in this box. It's not Chinese food, but chocolate covered bacon. I thought, "I like chocolate and I like bacon. It must be good together." YUCK! It was pretty gross.

Note: I did not actually purchase the chocolate covered bacon, I tried a piece from someone else. On the drive home when we were re-hashing how many calories we act Brian said, "On an upside, I am pretty proud that we didn't actually purchase the chocolate covered bacon... that must count for something."

Just a strange sign... didn't know Pork Butts were such a big hit, but hey, who knew chocolate covered bacon would sell.


Bekka and I went on a fun house. It was the only ride we went on. We were inspired by the movie Grease, and sang, "You're the One that I Want... woo, woo, woo, honey."

We were not allowed to go on the ride with flip flops on, so they made us put on these nasty plastic feet protectors. We wanted to go on so badly that we sucked it up and put them on. I washed my feet when I got home.

The best part of this clip is the end. Savannah was a little over stimulated and very tired. We went home right after this and she fell asleep immediately.
