State Fair 2009

Our annual trip to the fair with the Gallardo's. It's tradition now!
After we got our corn dogs and french fries we headed over to the kiddie rides.
Jack started off with the giant swing. The girls were too little to ride with him.
Then the kids and I went on this crazy little truck ride that jerked me all around! I couldn't wait for it to end! They loved of course!

Exhibit A
We had to ride one of the rides from Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch of course. Since he passed away the month before they were pretty popular.
It was Freddie's turn to escort the little people :)
Jack and Issy LOVE the roller coaster! They chose the back seat-smart kids :)
This year Abby got to take her first pony ride! Up until now she had been very afraid to get on a horse so I was thrilled that she was excited to finally do it.

Next we headed over to the petting zoo. Issy's not a fan so it was just our kiddos. Jack and Abby love all the animals and it's always one of their favorite things to do at the fair. We purchased 2 ice cream cones full of pet food and let the fun begin!





On our way to see the baby animals we were lured over to the women on horses! Those things whipped around that arena right in front of where the kids were watching-very exciting!
Isabelle, Dee and Jack right before the Tilt-A-Whirl. It was Dee's turn! Poor DeAnna was spinning for awhile even after the ride was over.
Too much fun!

Here's Eric and Jack playing for a goldfish. All day Jack wanted to try and win a fish. We didn't want to carry it around all day so we saved it till the end of the night. You could pay $10 and you were guaranteed a fish and a tank. So the boys got 10 ping pong balls and went at it. Thank goodness we just got right to it because they would have been there all night!
Hello Marlin! Named after the angel fish in Finding Nemo.
Jack was sooooo happy to win this stupid fish. That darn thing only lasted a few days too. Jack thinks he's at the fish Dr. to this day (almost 2 months later). In fact, he just asked if he was coming home soon the other night. Guess who's going to Petco this week?
One of Dee's beautiful Ferris Wheel shots to end with.
We ended the night with a funnel cake and gelato. We always have a great time and look forward to next year!

  1. I almost puked on the stupid ride... and I am not sure how I let them talk me into it again. I guess, cause they are cute. Have fun at Petco! You crack me up!
