AV Fair

This past weekend we took the kids to the ever popular Antelope Valley Fair. As always, we had a blast.

We finally convinced Peter to get back on the horse....er.. sheep in mutton busting. Poor kid only lasted a couple of seconds and got bucked right off but I think he had a good time.

Travis took the boys to the monster truck show which they loved and then we met up with Peter's best friend Noah and his family to ride some rides together. I love how good of friends these two are. They've been best friends since the beginning of kindergarten and still are like two peas in a pod.

Like always we had to stop by the kids play area to milk a cow and rope some cattle.

  And check out this petting zoo. Honestly this is probably my favorite part of the Fair since they have a wallaby, pigs, goats, sheep, llamas, baby deer, checked chickens and ducks. It's awesome. Though the kids are always a bit hesitant after getting their shirts nibbled on a few times.

Once it hit dark, we indulged on some overpriced junk food and went back to ride more rides. Nora was such a champ the entire night, just hanging out in her stroller and even falling asleep off and on.

Even the grown-ups had a good time.

Pete was terribly excited about winning a goldfish. Sadly, Star did not last the week nor did the 4 others Daddy surreptitiously bought to replace it. They had a nice little ceremony where our tender-hearted Peter got pretty teary eyed before flushing the fishie goodbye.

I just love going to the fair every year and taking my kids to see all the cool animals. We can't wait for next year!
