Orange County Fair 2012!

This years Orange County Fair was full of fun! Here are some photos of our day. We just HAD to ride the ferris wheel or it would not have been a day at the fair.

Just Clark Kent and I. This was taken waaay up high in the ferris wheel.

The children stayed down below eating a funnel cake. Yum!

Here's the view from up there.

So if you're afraid of heights, you may want to stay away from this one. When it came time for some grub there was the typical county fair food like deep fried twinkies and this kind of stuff.

But I wanted something a bit healthier. So I ended up here.

Because they actually had some lighter-on-the-stomach type fare like this chicken breast with veggies, which is what I ate.

Of course we played carnival games like the shooting gallery, which Luke was very good at.

And basketball. (I think those hoops are bent. Not fair!)

We saw lots of cute animals too! They even had a rabbit judging. This ones name is Cola.

This is the biggest horse I've ever seen!

And I made a new friend.

By the end of this very busy day, Alani needed help walking. So her daddy helped her out.

If you were able to go to the O. C. Fair or some other fair in your neck of the woods, comment and tell me all about it! If you haven't gone to one yet, just be sure you don't eat a lot and then go on a ride like the zipper. NOT a good idea! Keep smiling and I'll see you next time! Taniya

A Big Event And A Birthday!

Our oldest daughter has moved out on her own! She's been talking about this for a while now and been crunching numbers to see if it was possible. She wants to be closer to the university and, I'm sure, wants her own space. Hahaha! So she is now settled into a peaceful, little housing track with three roommates and right down the street from a park. She also has a brand new pepper spray! Ha ha!
Since this is her birthday month, what do you think we got her?

A laundry basket full of "New House" supplies and FOOD! She was in the process of packing up her room (sniff) when we gave her this. That's why the bookshelf is empty, etc. Later we had a little birthday party for her with family and she got even more new house things. This is her cake!

Here she is with my sissy, her funny aunt!

Thankfully, her new house isn't very far away or I would be quite sad. But this way we will get to see her pretty often. As a matter of fact, she's coming over in a few days for her sister's birthday. Oh what fun we'll have!! Until next time then, Taniya              P.S. I love this picture because she is laughing so much from my sister's antics!
