San Diego Fair

We spent the morning dreaming about running down to Cabo for a couple of nights, spending the days on Medano beach eating fresh fish and sipping margaritas. Real life has us doing laundry, cleaning fish tanks and getting groceries, good times.

It’s been a busy summer so far. My classroom had an art show focusing on Henri Matisse’s Scissor art.

We went to the fair and luckily didn’t leave with fish this time. The two goldfish from last years fair are still living their best life, sigh.

The girls dragged us on the Zipper which I had horrible memories from childhood (thanks Jess) and I am happy to report that it’s not scary anymore.
That evening Old Dominion was playing and we were lucky enough to sneak up on their rehearsal.

While the girls were riding rides, we took advantage of some wine tasting and a funnel cake hot dog.

The only thing that would’ve made it better was if it were beef and not chicken.

We did one last ride before calling it, it was a school night.

Even though we missed the 5th graders promotion, we were lucky enough to have pictures and videos taken for us.

We took the girls to the fair as a graduation gift, an expensive one. Rides, rides and more rides, throw in some corn dogs and farm animals, we had a great time.

I got Kaili to go on my favorite drop ride with me. I also talked her into Gravitron, remember that one? That was our favorite when I was young, loud music and spinning so fast that you can climb the walls. The girls also loved it! All of us but Averi went on a ride that Shawna and I had been eyeing, we were surprised that K and S braved it with us. It was pretty intense and I think both of the girls considered tears, but once we were back on the ground they said it was fun!

Averi however wasn’t a fan of most of the rides, she screamed for the man to “STOP THE RIDE” when we went on the one that has the cars that travel in a circle and navigate a set of hills in the process at a high speed. We started backwards and she was NOT having it. She passed on most of the rides after that, braving a fun house here and there. Oh and she did the giant slide,

Her face at the end, LOL!

We spent the next few days at the pool flaunting their obnoxious pool floaties.

Shayne got an Avocado floaty but she was not in the mood for a photo shoot.
