The Olympics + the heat wave have made me lazy and unproductive. However, we did get out of the house this weekend. After k’s basketball practice we met up with D’s cousin and his wife at the OC Mart Mix. We grabbed lunch at the food trucks at the farmer’s market. They also wanted to try Portola Coffee Lab.
They brought us some goodies from Proof bakery in LA. How thoughtful, and so very yummy.
On Sunday we went to the fair. We took advantage of the early bird special—arrive before 11 a.m. on Saturday or Sunday, and admission is only $2.
We tried some new things this year: fried zucchini, turkey leg and corn on the cob. The last two were good, the zucchini, not so much. No one can beat Paul’s Place’s fried zucchini.
Even in the morning, it was just too hot out. We even let the kids try some of our cola from the Pepsi Next Challenge. (D chose Coke and I chose Pepsi Next).
The art gallery was nice and cool. This was a crazy knitted house.
k drew two pictures of books she read and we turned them in for 3 free ride tickets. We bought one more ticket and all rode the ferris wheel together. Worth $5, but would not have been worth $20!
When we got home, I just wanted to relax next to the fan. n kept himself busy and was unusually quiet. Turns out he was making this masterpiece:
