Ventura County Fair.....

It's that time of year again when the fair comes to Ventura for all of us young ones, and of course you older folks to enjoy..... The rides, the animals, games, food.... Mom and I decided to take a journey down the path to the county fair....

It was a beautiful day and I was definitely ready for an adventure..... But before we headed down the path, I just had to have mom give me a pedicure because my red painted toe nails didn't have much red on them anymore..... So here I am getting a pedicure with the final results:







Okay.... Back to the fair....

The first thing mom and I watched were the Turkey Races... These guys were funny and big.... Did you know that the larger turkeys (the ones that end up in the store at Thanksgiving) kill rattlesnakes? We didn't know that. I called my grandpa and grandma to let them know that they needed to get a pet Turkey so it would keep the rattlesnakes away. :)

I saw so many animals......



I went to sleep in the pig area. Not too exciting...

So off to the Children;s Barnyard area.. A little more suitable for me. :)



The Chickens.....

Oh... speaking of chickens... Okay, so I am only 12 years old and haven't been around that long, so my knowledge of Chickens is a little rough, but my mom has been around quite some time. She was very involved in the county fairs growing up with animals, in FFA, 4-H, etc and she has never seen these kind of chickens before either:



Ok... so its not the best photo of the chicken, but mom is still getting used to my camera and the cages were super small, so not much room to get a good photo, so this is as good as it gets... :) I marked where the beak of the chicken is. :)

Moving on and still having a great time.... :)



The Goats...... Bambi; the mother of Jersey who is 2 weeks old....



Peanut, the 6 month old baby calf.....



Annie, the baby Donkey.... I can't remember how old she is, but isn't she adorable?



We didn't see the baby pigs on the other side as it was very crowded and never did seem to let up. I was just fine with that as I am not too crazy about pigs.. :)

We haven't been to the fair for several years, but the last time we went they didn't have an aquarium nor during the years mom was involved with the fair... But this year there was an aquarium.... It was really cool and had some neat fish tanks.. People were able to enter different types and styles of fish tanks. There was a Sponge Bob one there, but too high to get a decent photo of... For those of you that don't know, I love Sponge Bob.. :)



We saw some friends while strolling around the fair....



And we did some window shopping and picked up two fish.... I was so excited to be given 2 fish... I named them Sponge Bob and Dora...



And that completes my day at the fair... I think spending 6 hours there is long enough... Time to go home.. :):)


Thank you all for visiting.... :)

Til next time... Have a wonderful week.....

Love,
Kayla
