Last Day of Summer

So, another fun tradition my mom and I have started is our annual visit to the oh-so-cheesy-but-oh-so-fun California State Fair at the Cal Expo in Sacramento. Oh yea, baby. There is the typical fair-type fare, piggies, horses, and the all American Pony Ride. Also yards and yards of cotton candy and soft serve ice cream. mmm sugar. Ah yes. And finally, my great fair purchase of the year--- the completely over the top VITA-MIX blender to end all blenders. Smoothies, here we come (thank you MOM!)

It was a great way to end the summer.

Enormous popcorn. Enough said.


Golden Bear. The CAL state fair mascot!



The Great American Pony Ride. You really can't get through the fair without this. I feel a little sorry for the ponies, but they were gorgeous... M named hers Black Beauty.
