real tears

My darling husband got me an ipod touch last weekend! I've been having SO much fun with it, it's kind of unreal. Taking low res pictures of random everyday events and adding little sparkles and cuteness to them is my new favorite thing. 

Glob bless instagram.

Here's what I've been wearing this week:

what I wore to the fair

"Phoebe" Blue Gingham Cutout Bust Detail Sundress by Dahlia

hair

daisy hair clippies

nails

unicorn rainbow pin

shoes

sunnies

I had this dress hanging by my dresser for over a month before I finally wore it. I wanted it to be PERFECT, and I knew the fair was the place to let it shine. I wanted to play on the obvious Dorothy feel this dress has so I paired it with my favorite red glitter nail polish and rainbow pin.

THE FAIR 2012

A photo strip of us at the fair every year we've gone
(we only missed one year)

It's that time of year again! THE FAIR! Oh how I love the fair. It's such a happy place for me, full of fun rides, games, interesting people, sweet treats and ANIMALS!

( here's my post from last year if you're curious )

my handsome man and our darling daughter waiting for me to pack up Bowie-bear and the stroller

We like to hit the photobooths first thing when we get to the fair before we get all sweaty

waiting for our strips to print

cuteness

next it was time for rides!
Clementine freaked out when she saw this one because it was "JUST like the DUMBO ride!"

we took turns taking Clemmie on the big girl rides

Papa bear waiting with Bowie for his turn 

waiting for my turn

hands up!

then we took a walk through the HALL OF FLOWERS

so in love with my Dahlia dress!

it was a water theme this year so there were all of these wood carved fish and mermaids everywhere.

then it was time for lunch!
when we decided to go to the fair Boz did some reading to figure out what the best food this year was, and the internet said SONORAN DOGS so that's what we chose.

A newcomer to the fair, Lisa Thompson and her sister, Debra White, both of Santa Rosa, won the judges' hearts with a hot dog wrapped in bacon, topped with pinto beans, grilled onions, mustard and mayo. The kicker is a sweet Mexican roll specially made by Santa Rosa's La Reyna Bakery.

"smile pretty, baby!"

after lunch we went to the kids play area

Clementine got to be in a pirate show

one of the tasks the kids had as pirate helpers was to find all of the rats on the ship and throw them overboard, but Clementine felt bad for them so she jumped ship to save them all :3

proud parents

only a promise of of the petting zoo could pull Clementine away from all of the amazing toys in the play area

ohmygod tiny pigs!

ohmygod

ohmygod ohmygod

heaven tbh

I guess there were other animals there too, but so what whatever. ;)

Kiki told me to eat some funnel cake for her, so in the spirit of being a good friend I agreed. I was  giggling about all of the powdered sugar on Clemmie's face when Boz turned the camera on me to prove that Clemmie wasn't the only messy eater.

we saved the carousel for last

I couldn't believe our luck when I saw that there was a bunny and a bear right next to each other, since those are our nicknames for Clem and Bow. 

right next to the photobooths they also do old timey photos and I've ALWAYS wanted to have one done...

how perfect is this?!
I am SO pleased

 such a wonderful day! 

I can't wait to do it all again next year!
