Del Mar Fair

 We went to the Del Mar Fair this weekend.  It's hard to believe that when we went last year, I was still pregnant with Ben.  Now, we have this wonderful little guy! Here's some highlights of the day including the baby derby and Sophia on the rides:


Ben's got his number for the Baby Derby! Mom's sizing up the competition (18 other babies in 4 different heats) and thinks Ben's got a good chance!

After the first two heats (with hilariously slow babies who stopped to look at the cell phones their parents threw at them or who just sat there and cried), it's Ben's turn.  Mom is smug that Ben will be a fast crawler.

No Ben! Go toward me! Not that way!

Disqualified!  Yikes!

Proud of our little guy and his participation ribbon!

Teacups all by herself!

Roller Coaster all by herself


Fun in the little canoe ( all by herself)

Ferris Wheel! (too bad mom and Nana had to come along)

It was a car theme this year (which was decidedly weird in the garden exhibits and non existent in all the livestock exhibits). Here we are with the fair mascot!

Speedracer! (all by herself... again)

Trying out a board that simulates surfing or snowboarding

Jake actually ordered the beer-battered, deep fried bacon! It was not as good as it sounds.  Maybe next year we'll try the deep fried butter or chocolate bacon....
