This is the 99th year of the Alameda County Fair. This is a good old-fashioned fair that's so awesome it made the pages of the Wall Street Journal. The kids' next door neighbor is a jockey and he receives plenty of Fair passes which he graciously gives away. We all snagged free passes.
We all know the Fair is all about the food. So we began with funnel cake....well we started out with a corn dog, but ssh, we did that before the kids met up with us.
Ezra really doesn't know what these are all about, even though Diane was trying to teach him about putting a quarter in to massage the feet
Ezra's very first ride on a carousel
Ezra was really enjoying everything. This is the first week of the fair, which means the grounds are still clean and untrampled, on a Monday evening so it wasn't crowded, and the weather was perfect
Ezra saw sheep live and in person for the first time. He was so funny making all the noises that he learned while reading books. He recognized the animals from the pages of his books, awesome!
Okay, sorry about the angle, but it is so cute. He cuddled all the little animals in the petty zoo, which was free to enter
Ezra wasn't afraid of the animals. They had plenty of goats, a deer, a wallaby, ducks, lambs
And of course the hand washing after visiting the petting zoo....he really needs a total bath
A GREAT time was had by all and we can't wait to go again......which says a lot about Dave, he's so over the fair.
