OC Fair 2012: Home Sweet Home and Giveaway!

 

We love heading to the fair at night. It’s cool, calmer and fun!

Update: Giveaway is now closed. The winner of the giveaway is Kimberly Q. Thank you all for entering!

Last night as the sun was setting down, we decided to make our way to the OC Fair. We usually like to head to the fair in the evenings. It’s less crowded, hot and that usually means a pretty relaxed experience. Last night proved to be just what we expected, a great night at the fair!  A visit to the OC Fair has become a summer tradition. It just doesn’t feel like summer for us, without a trip to the fair.

We had a great time enjoying in everything that makes a fair so fun. We took a long stroll through the barn yard areas and had a great time checking out all of the different farm animals, the displays and of course getting in some goat and sheep petting.

 

A patriotic sheep!

We also played a couple of games, rode a couple of rides(well my hubby and the kids did, I just watched), ate some yummie fair food and did a whole lot of people watching. It’s honestly my favorite thing to do!

 

My hubby and kids slid down all the way from the top of the fun house. I closed my eyes. I couldn't watch!

There are so many fun things to do and see. You have to take the family this year!  I love the memories we made and it’s one more thing to cross off our summer bucket list! I hope you can make it.  Here’s all you need to know about the fair.
