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.
Love and County Fairs,
