Kern County Fair

The Great Kern County Fair- Right??? We took the kids on a Thursay to the fair. We ate very unhealthy food, looked at lots of animals in 90 degree weather, weren't sure exactly what we had touched- or how many people may have touched it too. Alexa's dinner consisted of a spicy corndog, a funnel cake, kettle corn, part of a shaved ice. At 12;30 A.m. she threw it all back up. Yuck.



We do have a funny story about the fair- a few years old, but I will tell it anyway. . . . on our 1oth anniversary Mike wanted to take me on a road trip on his Harley Davidson motorcycle. Karlee was just a baby-so it was a day trip. I had never really been very far on the bike. He thoght we would make it to Santa Barbara or something. Well, we didn't. (My Butt couldn't take any more than paso Robles) So we stopped there at the fair. Since it was our anniversary and we didn't have any kids - we thought it would be fun to take one of those old time photos. I dressed up like a saloon girl - and let's just say I was a nursing mother. I may have had a little cleavage. We brought the photo home and and only showed our close friends. Two years later at our own Kern county Fair we were walking by the photo shop and recognized the back drop and then looked closer and saw. . .us on display. I guess they liked us so much, we had been on display all over CA at county fairs with all my cleavage. I was quite embarrassed. All my school kids walked the fair grounds. Long story short we got a free family picture for being models and you may have seen the picture a few years ago as our Christmas card. Ask to see the other one. We might show you.

I love the fair! I wish we had one close to us we could take the kids to, stuff ourselves with junk, and then throw it up later! :) Your picture story is classic!
