We enjoyed the Orange County Fair for free! I have some neat memories of going to the fair up in Washington State every year but up there we called it, "doin' the Puyallup (that's pronounced pee-you-al-up). I still remember the jingle from the commercials every year! Don't you wish you could hear me share it with you right now?! Here are the lyrics at least..."You can do it with at a trot, you can do it with a gallup, you can do it real slow so your heart won't pal-i-pi-tate....just don't be late, do the Puyallup! Here is an old version like I remember, complete with several verses:

The one thing I can't understand about fairs here in California is why they don't sell hot, fresh buttered scones with fresh raspberry jam!! That's the whole reason we went to the fair growing up and why we stood in huge lines! There is nothing like it. And here is what the line looks like to get the scones...

No, we didn't try any of it! It was good to smell that "fair smell" again, well with the exception of the animal stalls!

The kids loved it and especially loved the gardens and animals. They just couldn't get over that their cotton shirts came from a cotton plant! It was fun and a good way to start finally getting some family time after three years of hard work. Enjoy the pictures!
