The OC Fair

One of my favorite summer activities has always been going to the fairs. Growing up, we used to go to the LA County Fair but it's kinda scary now so we've traded it for the OC Fair. We haven't been in the last two years because Patrick was so little and then I was super pregnant with Natalie but this year there was no excuse!

We went with my wonderful mother and father in law and my favorite cousin, Corey came along as well.

Although we didn't indulge in any of the crazy fried foods, we sure had a ton of fun.

Patrick got to enjoy some of the rides-- he loved it! Although, I'm not gonna lie- I was a little scared. Carnival rides always seem a little janky to me.


He also played a few fun games and the operators were so sweet- because he was so little and it was a slow night, they just kept giving him more balls because he was having so much fun!


I love seeing the rides all lit up when it gets dark- definitely one of my favorite things about the fair.


We had a great time and I definitely look forward to making this a family tradition!
