County Fair

I figured out how to get past the hair fixing problem. I put her in a little pink A's hat. Solved everything. We had a good weekend as just Daddy and Daughter. Took a bike ride down to the park and spent a good hour playing on the playground while the mexicans played soccer. Actually, it looked like a league, and the players were all mexicans except for the goalie for one team who was the lone english speaking white kid. It's nice that they have a little hobby like that. Little E got it in her head that she was going to use the big swirl slide and I wasn't allowed to follow her up there. I did anyway for a while, as it's pretty high and if she misses a step, it would be bad. But she did fine and loved that thing. She was starting to wear out a path in the ground from the bottom of the slide back to the steps to start going up it again.


But she enjoyed it.

Later that night we went to the County Fair. I've never been to the local county fair but have been making yearly pilgrimages to the state version for the past 15 years or so. The state fair has been going downhill lately and last year we didn't see hardly any animals at all. The county fair here, however, was chock full of wildlife. She got to pet some bunnies, saw a turkey, which was just fascinating for her. She even petted a two-toed sloth. That was an interesting creature. It moved a lot faster than I thought it would. And hanging upside-down like that all day must make the blood rush to your head at some point right? I can't do it for too long.

But we enjoyed going, my parents came along also so my dad took all the pictures from that, as my wife is still in Disneyland with our cameras. Today they're going into California Adventures to watch the new Playhouse Disney show. And ride California Screamin', and Soarin'. I don't know if my little guy is big enough to ride Screamin' or not yet, but he does love Soarin'. And he also has now discovered that Splash Mountain is incredibly awesome. Which it is. So the countdown until they return is at 2 more days. Tomorrow is their last day in the parks, and then Wednesday is going to be the real fun return trip back here. Thursday my wife and I are celebrating our anniversary. We're going to see Phantom of the Opera in Sac-town. It should be fun, right? I think it's the touring company of players, and not the local town production. Although Sacramento is a pretty big town.
