Our day at the San Diego County Fair

I started this post well over a week ago, but with everything that's been going on with our dog, Liam, this got put on hold! Now that he is recovering from his surgery, I thought I should really get this finished! These are pictures from our day at the San Diego County Fair - it's a rather long post, but I had a tough time narrowing down the pictures I wanted to share...trust me, I took many more pictures that I just didn't have time to include. Enjoy!

The first set of pictures are some general pictures of the fair...some were taken from the Sky Ride that Josh and I took so we could get a "bird's eye view" of the fairgrounds (fun, but a little scary!)...

Posted at the entrance to the Race Track - thought these were really cool!

Entrance to the Fairgrounds...this year's theme was centered around music!

Sky Ride - weeeeeee!!!

View of entrance from Sky Ride...

They have dog races & horse races here - Josh and I

are thinking of going to the Del Mar Horse Races - I can't wait!

High above the fairgrounds...little scary!

Nice view out to the ocean while up in the air!

I think I was most captivated by the Flower & Garden show. There were the most amazing specimens of flowers I've ever seen! Here are some of my favorites...

The BIGGEST sunflowers I have ever seen!

The one in the top photo was over 10 feet tall!

Beautiful magnolia - makes us miss home!

Really creative arrangements celebrating the 4th of July!

DAHLIAS, DAHLIAS EVERYWHERE! AND THEY WERE ALL BEAUTIFUL!

Interesting plant wall or "vertical garden"

And, of course, we had to visit the Livestock exhibit...you'll notice one little guy that didn't seem to fit in with the other animals, but he was so cute, I couldn't resist adding him along with the rest!

Llamas - contemplating life...and a bad haircut!

The first picture I took of this very large cow was from the other side of his pen - when we got to the other side, we realized just how BIG this guy was. I could barely fit just his head in the frame when we were standing next to him!

Isn't he cute???

BIG OLE PIG! Another big guy that I had trouble fitting in the frame!

Cute, adorble bunnies!

Biggest turkeys I have ever seen! Big pigs, big cows, big turkeys and...










...then we have this guy!!! Not sure how pomeranians contribute to life on a farm, but this guys was just too cute not to include along with the other "farm" animals!



Hopefully, this week I will be able to get pictures of our house posted...it's coming along really fast and the property manager says she thinks we may close 1-2 weeks early! We're very excited!



Love and blessings to everyone! We miss you all!
