Alameda County Fair

We went to the fair with Erik, Deanna, and the kids and had a great time. The highlight of the trip was that Katherine and Olivia both won family passes to the Monterey Bay Aquarium! We'll be making a family outing of it I'm sure.

 Ride tickets!!!










Music of the World Tent




Trains! Noah was excited that this exhibit doesn't have a thunderstorm like the one in Walnut Creek does. It always scares him.

Fun on the Footsie Wootise

Singing and dancing while listening to a band.







Jumping Cousins!










 He played with this marble run for at least 30 minutes straight. 

 It's supposed to go on your fridge door, but I think that's just asking for marbles under the fridge.

 Markus and Olivia worked on balancing all these nails on the one nail on a stand.


Fun with carnival mirrors!




 I think this one is my favorite.


 What?!

Back to the Footsie Wootsie. This time we actually put money in. Good times for just a quarter.


Petting Zoo area







 The deer had just attempted to nibble his hat.

 The coolest sink ever. Here he's washing his hands with water coming from the milk carton, the soap was under a flowerpot, and to dry your hands you stuck them in a chicken coop with a dryer in it.


Also a huge hit, the solar powered cars. You had to study a display about solar panels and take a quiz about it to be allowed to drive the race cars for free.
