Hot weather, Fried food, Fun rides...LA County Fair

Where would you go when it's 100 degrees out? How about the LA County Fair. That's where we headed on what felt like the hottest day ever. The black top of the Pomona Fairgrounds only added to the million degrees it felt. Last year, Trent and I went with some friends to the OC Fair and Trent absolutely loved the fair. What he loves most are the rides and crazy fun houses. On Groupon they had a deal for discounted tickets, which I took advantage of. So, again what felt like the hottest day ever we headed to the fair. Trent was so excited to be going and could not wait to go on the rides.
We got there around 2:00 p.m. and they were having a deal from 4-7 p.m. that the rides would be half off, so Trent would have to wait awhile before having fun. He wasn't too thrilled about this and quite often reminded us. We walked around checking out all the infomerical type booths, but really we were just trying to stay out of the heat. The time finally came when it was time to buy tickets for the rides, but before that Trent found the face painting booth.

 Love the dragon breathing blue fire (the hottest fire per Trent) and a cool sword.

Terra was so good in the heat. She was content staying in her stroller and cruising around people watching.
Fairs are known for their food, especially fried food. In the past years it seems that vendors fry any kind of food you can think of. Of course, we are all about fried food, so we were excited to start eating.
 So yummy!
 This was Tim's choice, a little too salty for me.
 Trent's choice and he said it was delicious.
Another choice of Tim's...he wanted me to try it, but that is just too much for me.
While Tim and Trent walked around the National Forest exhibits, Terra took a much needed nap.
Terra all smiles after her nap.
Even though it was hot, we had a great day. Tim and I took turns going on the water log ride with Trent, which was so much fun. Trent got his wish and was able to go on more than enough rides and fun houses. Can't wait to go again next year, hopefully we go on a cooler day.
