We went to the San Diego County Fair today.  It was a blast...we all had a good time.

Fair fare review:
We ate a ton (as expected) and everything was delicious.  We had a southwestern grilled cheese w/ pepperjack, avacado, and tomato.  We also had a monte cristo - which was good - but almost identical to the ones we make at home and our jam (Trader Joe's) is better.  We also had a toffee ice cream cup that was amazing.  Even better than Ben and Jerry's Coffee Heath Bar Crunch!  and that is saying a lot.  Colleen had a cupcake that looked delicious and Ryan ate a one pound turkey leg wrapped in bacon (just kiddin' - checking if you read this far down:)
However, the best dish - hands down - was the cheesy bacon bombs.  They said it was most popular and people would come back 3 or 4 times for more.  We almost did except we wanted to sample other things.  They were amazing!  It was a jalapeno cheese coated in a little breading/panko and wrapped in bacon and deep fried.  

Now on to pics from the fair:
On the way...Colleen really wanted to ride bus "next to her brother"

He looks pretty excited too!

We saw some pretty cute llamas all groomed like poodles...kind of funny.

Colleen got to ride a pony again this year.


 Video of Colleen riding the pony:

And we looked at some animals and pet some lambs and goats.

Then she rode a lion on the carousel.
 She and dad rode a caterpillar roller coaster and our little adrenaline junkie was yelling "Whoo-hoo" the whole time! - but we didn't get any pictures of that...

Then she and dad rode in a monster truck.

Then she drove a boat.

And rode a motorcycle.
And went down a huge slide:

And devoured a cupcake - vanilla cupcake with vanilla frosting and pink sugar topping.

Looks like it was pretty good :)

Safe to say she had a good time and it wore her out!

Ryan was quite happy on the way home and there is a sleeping sister next to him.

Then everyone came home to take a nap while dad posted pictures of all of them :)
