Today was fair day! Counting Crows and Matchbox 20 were both playing at the fair. Of course we missed Zak Brown, Garth Brooks, and Midland. Just our luck. I am not a huge fan of either of tonite's bands, but we love live music, so at least it is people we have heard of.
For the majority of our time in Cali, weather has been in the 60s and 70s. I guess we got spoiled because we were sweltering in the low 90s at the fair grounds. I must have applied sunscreen 5x, yet still felt my skin frying.
We have not ridden rides for several years since Loren passed out cold after a ride at the Austin rodeo. It just so happened that the exact same ride was at this fair. Loren decided that it was redemption time and he was going to ride again. I was almost too worried to have fun, but he braved the spins and drops like a pro. Ride defeated!! We rode a few more rides and had a good laugh. Ride prices are ridiculous, but I always have so much fun!
Next, we went to the petting zoo. Loren stood outside and watched while I oohed and ahhed over goats, pigs, and deer. I was loving the animals until I felt a tug and looked down. A deer had my shirt in his mouth! I was laughing, and of course took a picture, thinking Bambi would release me. Negative. Still chewing. I have some junkie shirts that I probably would not have minded being nibbled, but I love the Yeti shirt I had on! I didn't wanna pull too hard and rip it, but had to get the deer off. A minute of tug-o-war later, and my shirt is soaked in drool and a green stain of something.
We had a hard time deciding what food to have for dinner. There were so many choices! Turkey legs, fried avocados, fried everything! We decided on a giant corn on the cob and cotton candy flavored ice cream. Dinner of champs!
Loren and I sat down on a wall to wait for Corey, Kari, and the kids to ride the bumper cars. We somehow managed to be just outside the gates to the concert and could hear it perfectly. We listened to songs and waited for the ones we know and like. Just as has happened to me before, I went to the bathroom and while I was away, the songs I wanted to hear were played. 2 songs out of 20 and they played them while I was away. What are the chances?!?
Sunburned and full of junk we headed home to say goodbye to the beach. Tomorrow we head to LA, so stay tuned!
