The OC Fair!

We hit the Orange County Fair on Thursday evening with the whole family. The kids and I headed down with Grandma around 4:00 and dad met up with us after work. Maddie and William were so excited as we parked the car and they saw the looming rides and excitement ahead. We headed straight to the rides. Maddie and I went on the "Crazy Coaster" while William gobbled up a hot dog with Grandma and we hit up the kiddie rides later in the night.

Dad worked hard to win some prizes for the kids. The games are such a rip off!
William wanted to help... I love the way William looks at Mike. He looks at him with such admiration ALL the time. It's so cute.
FINALLY... Mikos found success with the balloon popping game. Prizes for both. Maddie picked out the stuffed 100 dollar bill (should we be worried?) and Wil got a blue platapous. Maddie's has been sleeping with her "dollar" ever since.
William was tall enough to ride the kiddie rides by himself. He met the 36" inch min...
Maddie loved the kiddie bumper cars. Wil, on the other hand, had some difficulty pushing the gas pedal and steering at the same time and sat there yelling at us that he couldn't do it. So sad we couldn't help him. After this ride, it was time to go. We really had a great time but I have to say, it was tiring! So many people, such excitement and so loud... we were all exhausted by the time we got home at 9:30. Very fun night though and can't wait to go again next year.
