San Diego Fair!

This past weekend we went to the San Diego fair. It's an annual tradition we have where we go and experiment with the different and new foods they create, visit the animals, and check out the exhibits. We don't do games or rides because we are too afraid and we end up being too tired after all of the crazy food we eat and walking through the many exhibits they have. This time when we got to the fair the first thing we did was check out the Alice and Wonderland exhibit filled with original artwork, life-sized cards and chess pieces to play with, picture opportunities with various characters from the book/film and fun props and lighting effects.

Next we made our way over to the food so we could indulge in our first meal of the day....Fried shrimp and rice balls and Deep Fried Pineapple. I have to say....both were extremely yummy and I could have eaten the rice balls all day long. Best way to start the day!

Our next meal was what I came to the fair to try and super excited about...Kool Aid hot wings and Chicken in a waffle on a stick! Both were delish and by far our favorite. Caleb couldn't stop eating it and it even came with French fries that had kool aid sauce drizzled on top. Soooo good.

We decided to take a break from food and venture on over to Caleb's favorite...the animals. Caleb was in heaven as soon as we first walked in. Lo and behold a Bug area with bug tasting and products you could actually buy! He really wanted to buy chocolate covered grasshoppers but it was so expensive and I just knew he wouldn't like them. I told him he had to taste the bugs first because I knew he wouldn't like it and sure enough..he said it tasted like the smell of hay. Yuck. After the gross bug tasting we saw rabbits, guinea pigs, sheep, cows, and pigs. So cute.

It was time to eat more food so we made our way over to get some food that we tried last year and absolutely loved....pulled pork mac n cheese grilled cheese sandwiches and on the way we happened to see deep fried lemonade. Well that wasn't something we planned to try but we couldn't resist so we got one and absolutely LOVED IT. And then of course right next to it was chocolate covered frozen cheesecake on a stick and a smore's ice cream sandwich which were also extremely delish.

By the time we were done eating we quickly checked out the Bing Crosby Hall that had products to sell and bought a mop for the house and then called it a day. We were so tired from walking around and stuffed from eating that it was time to go home and crash. We had another successful time at the fair and can't wait to go back next year!
