A Visit to the Orange County Fair

My husband and I enjoyed an afternoon strolling the Orange County Fair today!

I think the last time we were there we were pushing a stroller, so considering our youngest child just graduated from high school, it had definitely been a while!

We had a good time, and I felt like there were more shady walkways since we visited years ago, which was nice given that it was a warm day.

We had a very good BBQ lunch which I enjoyed a lot...

...and I can't even remember the last time I had an Icee! That really hit the spot walking around on a warm afternoon.

My husband was curious about the deep-fried Twinkies we've heard are sold at fairs, so he tried one, and he thought it was really good.

More colorful food stands...you can get deep-fried anything and chocolate-covered anything (bacon!) at the fair.

I especially enjoyed looking at the animals and some of the other fair entries.

"As high as an elephant's eye!"

All in all it was a very nice afternoon and we walked a few miles taking in the sights, so it was a "win win."

We agreed that we won't wait as long next time for a return visit to the fair.

Have a great weekend!
