summer is time for fairs

hello! been to your country fair yet? we went over the weekend to the san diego county fair. fairs are what i look forward to in the summer!
i made this card with fairs in mind. the carousel is partly paper pieced. made this for the lawnscaping challenge here. turned the sketch around.we went to the san diego fair saturday. luckily, it wasn't too sunny and it wasn't too hot.

i always love looking at all the fair signs. so colorful! and tempting!

view of the crowd and the ferris wheel waaaay in the background.

i remember in middle & high school, me & my friends would love taking pictures in the photobooths. so fun!

why the grumpy face? not more than a minute of getting there, bryan asked for cotton candy. we told him we will get some at the end of the day and he was not happy. and he sure reminded us throughout the day by saying, "i'm not happy". ahhh, i'm LOVING the 4 year old attitude!

this was the best part about this fair [besides the giant turkey leg]---this marching band. they had colorful coat-tails, silly hats (one had a dead chicken hat). even the tuba was painted like a mouth!

we spent some good money on fair games. to win what? junk! but for a 4 & 6 year old, they are treasures! although......i wouldn't have minded winning this owl here ;)

brandon and his silly self! and look, he won an angry bird!

i can't wait til the OC fair rolls around in july! thanks for stopping by!
