Antelope Valley Fair

Today was the annual trip to the Antelope Valley Fair for food, fun, and most important rides. We got to the fair about 4:00 to avoid the mid-day heat. Thankfully, the weather cooperated for the most part and it wasn't too hot. A little windy, but it is the AV after all so what do you expect? As soon as we got there we began the trek through the commercial exhibits booth to find a million different unique items that nobody really needs, but you can't picture life without. Of course we had to go eat dinner after that, a giant BBQ beef dip for me, chili cheese fries for Jeremy and hot dogs for the kids.

After the food we had to wait around a bit before the kids could do the rides. My dad suggested catching the high diving show that was about to begin. Sure, I thought, why not. Let's just see how long the kids last though. To my surprise they not only sat through the whole show, they loved it. Cody was enthralled with the divers. Each time they climbed higher he would cover his eyes and then peek just in time to see them jump and hit the water. He then laughed like a mad man. At the end of the night I asked Cody what his favorite part of the fair was and he said "When the man jumped out of the sky into the water"

After the diving show it was time to go to the rides. My mom picked the kids up their wristbands (thanks Mom) so they could ride all the rides they wanted and boy did they. Cody was still a bit short for some of the rides but he still had a blast on the ones he got to go on. Taylor was content riding all of the rides with her friend, Kyle.
