Oh, What A Spectacle!

Oh, oh The LA County Fair

We woke up yesterday, a bit late. For some time we have had a scheduled field trip of sorts to the LA County Fair. In the past our family has participated in this, although it has been some time. It was foggy, a bit chilly and humid as we scurried to get ready and I for some reason only curled the back side of my hair....umm yes I was may have been sleep curling. My lip was 1/2 swollen for some odd reason but, we made it out the door, to the donut shop and off in record setting time.

The drive was about an hour and fouty-five minutes. It did not seem that long as we had a dance party in the van, safe distance from the driver though. The kids told puns and talked about what they wanted to see once we got there. Quite an amazing trip!

We got there, checked in and walked under the street. The kids echoed and has a blast with that. We saw goats, sheep,cows, llamas, alpacas, pigs, horses,sharks,moving dinosaurs, birds and bees. We walked through a garden and saw the ducks in a pond. The kids pet animals and Maggie came face to face with a cow, followed by cheek to cheek. A goat jumped up and rested it's hooves on my chest and licked my faces, I tried to think of how I could take her home. Nursing pigs and a corn maze was part of the fun.

We were there only two hours but, an amazing two at that. The kids met Peter Rabbit!

County Fairs are fun for unschoolers and families in general.

Oh, to the library we go....

We have been in the house way too much. So I checked our local libraries schedule and found some fun free activities for today. Jimmy had the van at work so we walked, scootered and wagon pulled. It was pretty hot outside but, we lived. Here are some pictures.

The kids got to pet this desert tortoise, a rosie boa and a stick bug! How awesome is that? There were kids of all ages there and it was great.

Then the older four took an art class. they will be going every Thursday!

And this was just another day of unschooling....

Catching Up

This is me beore an art show on Saturday. I went with Jessica and Nobe, we also went to the Pomona Art Walk. We had a pretty amazing time and some good food. There was some good music as well. At the end when we left I wanted to stay forever and live in the Pomona Arts Colony. Beautiful mural on the wall, little stores, galleries and music venues.

I've been selling things on eBay. Mostly dresses and now hair accessories that I make. I named it Heads and Tails by Button: Decorating your head, covering your tail. I know it's funny but, I like it.

Monday my husband Jimmy turned 36. We celebrated with carnitas burritos and Jell-O cake. I made sure he had his favorite "imported" beer Shiner Bock.

That's all

love and stuff
