The Cal State Fair is a client of my husband. He provides their online ticketing. We went to the Fair as a family and we treated to free admission and unlimited rides!
Here are a couple of videos of the boys practicing lasso!
Playing on a see-saw that has saddles...
There is an area that showcases farming and contained a garden with a huge variety of vegetables and other items. We got to see how cotton looked in all of its stages of growth.
Some cute little piggies...
We were fortunate to get to see a newborn calf. We came across them when the calf was about 30 minutes old. Here, the vet is trying to get the calf to stand. The mother was getting aggitated and they needed the calf to latch and nurse ASAP.
We were surprised to discover that the grandstand had horse racing. We stayed for one race. 'R's horse got 2nd, 'A's 4th. (we did not bet.) RIDES!RIDES!RIDES!RIDES! It was fun to see the boys tall enough this year to move into some older rides. We were able to ride on some together and created some wonderful family memories.
The view from 'R's favorite ride, the 'Giant Wheel'...
This fair has quite a few rides that used to belong to Michael Jackson. This is one of them. This was a great ride for the whole family!
Demolition Derby!
A terrific end to a terrific day...
Located in the Sacramento area, 'Riverbend Prep' provides a Christ-centered homeschool for two boys, 'A' is 1B6 and 'R' is 2B5. I define myself as a Sonlight mom with Charlotte Mason tendencies... :)
