How better to start off a blog than with a pig race... fast aren't they?
We went to the Orange County fair last night with our friends, Jill and Mark. It was fun to see all the attractions and eat different foods. Jill and Mark had the idea of tasting a little bit of everything. So we tried tasty fries (fresh fried potato chips), pulled pork sandwich, corn bread, corn on the cob, and the largest corn dog we had ever seen. We split the corn dog 4 ways, and it was still too much for Sarah to eat. We eventually made it to the booths owned by Chicken Charlie. Jill and Mark know him personally, and he fries anything you can think of. He asked Sarah what she wanted, and she, of course, asked for dessert. We ate two fried Oreos and a fried Klondike bar. Chicken Charlie has been filming a reality TV show that may air on TV if all goes well. In the TV show he'll be frying an entire wedding cake!

We also payed $1 to see a really big steer. He stood 6'6" at the shoulders. Wow! Here's a picture of Sarah standing in front of it, but he's far enough away that the picture doesn't show his true size. You get the idea.
Oh, and for an update to Sarah's last post, the baby is now the size of a lemon.
Sarah looks intimidated in that picture.. or maybe just the 'why am I getting a picture with this thing?' face.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the baby is back to being a fruit, just like the rest of his/her family ;)
