OC County Fair Part 2

We spent this afternoon at the Orange County Fair in Costa Mesa, CA. The boys didn't know there was a Monster Truck show tonight at 8pm. We kept it a surprise. 

We started with the opposite entrance from the one I entered with the boys at our previous visit. Daniel's blood sugar was doing fine this time unlike the last visit to the fair. Thank goodness. I came prepared with two giant bottled waters and two gatorades. 

We began our day looking at the larger livestock we missed last time. Landon loves animals. The fair is so clean. Such a huge comparison from Kern County and LA County. I have to say the live stock is kept very clean in their pens. It doesn't smell at all and you walk on concrete not dirt and hay. No asthma attack for my children. 

Landon found a buddy.

He wants a farm. He saw bunnies, goats, birds, turkeys, and wanted one of each. I can't afford a farm Landon. 

He wanted to catch more butterflies and he finally caught the big blue one! 

And another friend landed on his shirt. This one made him tickle. 

We walked around a little and ate funnel cake and ice cream then headed over to 

the grand stand to get ready to watch the Monster Truck show. Little Landon was so excited when we got to our seats and he saw the dirt in the arena and heard the engines roaring. He smiled from ear to ear. Daniel was excited too because he missed the show at Angel's Stadium last time. 

Time for some dinner before the show started as all the trucks pulled in.

My favorite way to spend a Saturday evening with my two favorite little boys in the world. They are so precious and so sweet. Mama's Boys I'm blessed to enjoy and I simply just cherish the moments just being Mommy. 

And it's time for the show! 

Landon's excited! 

Landon always is the lucky one to meet the driver. Here he is with Roger the driver of The Destroyer. 

I've never thought of myself as an outdoor sports kind of mom. My other boys weren't into dirt bikes or trucks, but Landon is that boy. He wants to race. He wants to ride. He's a boys boy. He's climbing trees, he's braver than all my boys, he's my adventurer. He will be the one to try a true boys sport. I better be ready to keep up with him. 

Daniel enjoyed the show. He remembers the show from seeing it when he was small. He wasn't fond of the beer drinkers at the event. I had to explain unfortunately people like beer and it's everywhere we go. Just try to ignore it the best and we switched seats. It's a shame when drunk adults ruin family events. 

We enjoyed the nightly fireworks 

It turned out to be a great night for our small family. Since Daniel had practice this morning, it was a long day. Time to relax for the night, say our prayers and thanks for today . God Bless everyone.
