OC Fair

Today D and I were also able to check off another one our “Freedom Summer” activities–the OC Fair. My sister won two pairs of tickets so we met up with her and our bro-in-law in the afternoon.

Even though it was little cooler in Costa Mesa than in Irvine, it was still HOT and HUMID. Our Orange Juliuses were practically liquid in a couple of minutes!

First, we watched the crazy Peking acrobats. Their flexibility and balance are quite amazing.

Then, we watched the Alaskan Racing Pigs (and received a coupon for free Ralph’s bacon–how gross is that?)

Next, we walked around the various barns to look at the animals. Here we are standing in front of the Maternity Barn, which I thought was quite appropo 🙂

Here is a funny sign that my sister told me to take a picture of:

D and I shared a gyro that was pretty good. Also, what is a fair without fried food? All four of us shared this plate of “Colossal Onion Rings” and we could barely finish it:

We ended our day by walking around the arts and craft displays, laughed at some of the not-so-special collections of random things, and visited the agriculture displays.

Wow, my stomach looks bigger than I thought!

I guess it doesn’t measure up to the state fair (which D used to go to growing up in Sacto), but it was still fun!
