The Orange County Fair

Last Thursday night B and I went to the Orange County Fair! Let me take you on a little tour of what we saw.

There were elephants to ride on! This was where we first walked in. Perhaps a sign of what I would look like if the fair were in town year round.



We got in just before sunset and some of the animals were settling down. Is that comfortable? It gives me a neck ache just looking at her.



Ladies, could you please line up for me? I'd like to take a picture.

Thanks so much, you look beautiful.



This guy was such a tease. He would come up to me and let me pet him but the minute I raised my camera he would look away.

Don't you play sly with me mister! I know your type!



Everywhere we turned we saw signs like these! Can you read that?! Deep fried white castle burgers?! Deep fried s'mores?! Can I help it if I totally giggle at the phrase Zucchini Weeni?

Actually we didn't notice until this very moment that there were frogs legs or I would have tried them. Has anyone had frogs legs before?



Just look at the size of that corn dog! I know the picture is blurry but it was the best I could do with him waving it around like a sword.



Oh and the donkeys. Its the first time I've seen donkeys up close. They are so pretty! They are soft and velvety looking with gorgeous black-lined eyes and seeing them made me think of the wonderful folks at Flat Creek Farm that also have donkeys.

Yes that was the best picture I could get. The donkey had an itch and who am I to stand in its way.



Look at this man. Are you a llama? Alpaca? Doesn't this gig have a dental plan? That is one heckuva underbite. Sexy hair though.



Here is another blurry one that I needed to share. Just look at that smile! What are you dreaming of Mr. Pig? A world without bacon? I can't believe I even just typed those words out... that would be a tragedy. Please forget you ever read that.

Back to Mr. Pig, don't we all wish we could sleep like that?

Just for giggles I thought I would share the original picture....



If you can't see the whole thing (the butt), click on the picture. This ladies and gentleman is why you need to pay attention when taking pictures. The most human-like quality of a pig if you ask me.



For you crafty folks I took a tour thru the Youth Building. These quilts were awesome!



In highschool I spent a couple summers here helping with displays and working in the activity section. This really meant doing crafts with the kids. Grueling work.

I so wanted to take this Halloween quilt home with me!



And how sweet is this tinkerbell costume! I think this post is starting to exceed my allotment of exclamation points!!



Of course, we spotted the Turkey Legs! They deserve capitalization.

I didn't take pictures of the other food B ate because it all looked the same. Fried and brown.



Oh and don't forget the corn! B likes his with butter. You may die when I tell you how I eat mine (while at the fair, not at home). 1. Take corn and open up 2. slather with a thin layer of mayo, yes mayo 3. shake parmesan cheese all over corn, feet, pants and anyone standing down wind 4. add garlic powder 5. add chili powder 6.. don't inhale while eating.

In closing, because I like to present nothing but my best side, I let B pick his favorite fair picture.



Yes, I will going back to Weight Watchers on Saturday.
