A Day at the Fair


Ever since she first read Angelina at the Fair four years or so ago, Clare has been clamoring to go to a fair. Yesterday we finally made it, and it just so happened to be the San Diego County Fair. This is the fair I grew up attending, so I love the symmetry. The bonus of attending with her beloved cousins made the experience all-in-all terrific (even if Danny was also there).

We pet farm animals, ate junk (that's Danny enjoying his first-ever corndog above), rode some rides, and shopped, but the highlight for all of the kids was riding an elephant:



We also found Grammy's painting, on display in the Fine Arts exhibition, but alas they wouldn't let us take pictures. Nevertheless, the kids all filled out "people's choice" ballots in favor of her piece, so we're expecting a phone call any day now!
