We
went to the LA County Fair last night. Even though I was dead
tired from work, I thought it would be better than braving weekend
crowds.
I
love the fair … especially the fair food. We ate our way
through the place, starting with the best BBQ beef sandwiches I’ve ever
had, then freshly made chips, then funnel cake, then lemonade, and
finally clam chowder. Unfortunately, it was too cold for ice
cream, or we would have had that too. 
We abstained from the deep fried Twinkies, but I have to say that the
deep fried avocado and deep fried corn on the cob sounded
intriguing. I don’t feel too guilty about chowing down because we
were walking for about seven hours.
Have I mentioned that I love the fair? 
We went to see the animals first and were lucky to see two baby goats
being born. Amazing! That was their eighth birth of the day
so babies were everywhere … so, so cute.
Then
we ventured over to the shopping pavilions … all that crazy stuff you
see advertised on infomercials all in one place! Didn’t buy
anything, but it was fun to see all the gadgets.
After
that, we looked at all of the kids’ art and science projects, and
finally we went to the home arts exhibit where they have the canned
goods, pies, cakes, quilts, etc. Made me feel just like I was on
Little House on the Prairie. 
We left at midnight exhausted but happy. It was a great time!
Have I told you that I LOVE the fair?

Yay for little house! Thanks for the comments! Have a great weekend!
Yes, yes, many times you have mentioned about the love a fair (now if you read that fast, it sure sounds funny isn’t it ). I have not been to a fair for so long, I don’t remember when was the last time I went to one. Maybe one day when it is our turn to be the “baby boomer”, then I can enjoy all the life’s treasures. Have a good weekend to you and Toshi, maybe you can take him to eat pho .
The pho might sort of balance out all of the junk we ate yesterday, huh, Tai? Too bad his favorite nearby pho place turned into a Chinese place. Even though the new Chinese place was good, Toshi was soooo sad.
you know i read that whole set of books as an adult and also the ones that were written by the grandson and then all the series that sprang from that…lol it is like the ‘anne of green gable ‘ books..i read the first one not knowing it was a series and as an adult went and read the rest of the series..okay a girl thing but i love those books..ahhhh though glad i don’t live back then….i like running water just fiine…..lol
Awww I love going to the fair. We don’t go to the one here anymore because they have it during the first week of august, and it’s always 100 to 110+ at that time of year, so we try to avoid the heat!I still love the Little House books…Little House in the Big Woods was the first book that I read all the way through – at 5 years old no less! I’ve re-read them several times now .
