Pamela, Drew, Brody and Jaden: The "O.C. Fair"... 2008

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

Today Mark took the day off to take the kids to the "Orange County Fair"... We were going to take them first thing in the morning but found out that they don't open until 12:00, so we went to Gym class together and after there naps we left for the fair...OK, So right when we got to the fair I told Mark they same thing I did last year, since we don't really know how long they are going to last that I wanted to do the "Pony Ride" first so as we walked up there was only one lady there waiting with her daughter... So we took the kids out of the stroller and I am standing there holding both of there hands and this time since there is only a few of us there really wasn't a line... So after a few minutes two other couples walked up with there kids and are standing behind us... right before they started to get the new riders on a Mexican guy said please grab a hold of the rope and line up... Well these parents start pushing there kids to the rope and left no room for Drew & Brody, So I was already getting mad and Mark just gave me that look like no worries, its no big deal... Well these people totally cut in front of us and there was only one horse left and the guy looks at me and asked if I wanted to put one of the kids on, I was ready to "POP"... I looked at him and said No ! That since these people cut in front of us - we will have to wait ... I could have strangled someone...Finally after five more minutes it was there turn and this is how it went...Drew cryed for the whole time and I think her crying made Brody cry because he loves the horses...

After the "Pony Rides"... We went to feed the kids lunch so Mark went and got the kids corn to try and they both really loved it... They ate it right off the cob...They also had a hot dog and fries...

After they were done eating we went to walk around and play some games with them... But first we got them "Cotton Candy" for the first time and they both really liked it...

Then we stopped to play a game, I put Brody on the table but Drew wanted to sit on her daddy's lap and play with him... I won here we got a "Turtle"... and gave this one to Drew, She carried him around and loved him...

Then we stopped and found another game and Mark won that one... It was perfect two games and two prizes... So we got Brody a turtle too only his face was yellow...

Then after walking around for a while and letting them try as much junk as we could we went on one ride with them... The "Big Slide"... Well the little kids "Big Slide"... Drew went first and really liked it...Then it was Brody's turn and he loved it they were having such a great time... He was laughing from the time they started to walk up the big hill... All's I know is as I am trying my best to watch Drew, take pictures and video tape them... I here Mark at the end say "Watch Out Guy"... The carnival guy is working the ride and is standing with his back to Mark and Brody in there track and this guy came off his feet, his glasses went flying off and he landed straight on top of Brody and Mark... I could have died... I thought out of all of these people this happens to my little guy... To make matters worse the guy taking the tickets thought it was so funny and was laughing, If I could have jumped that fence I would have strangled him...
