Happy 7th Birthday Savanna!

Yesterday, my one and only daughter turned 7 years old! I can't believe she is 7 already! To celebrate her birthday, we went to the fair. It's an annual family tradition for us and one that we always look forward to.

Before we left, Savanna opened up a few of her presents. Then we packed up and headed down to San Diego. Justin took the day off for this special occasion and we all had a great time together!

The morning of. She was so excited it was finally her birthday:

Finally at the fair. We parked at the horse park (cuz it's free!) and the kids were excited to ride the bus over to the fairgrounds:

This year's theme: Race to the Fair

Since it was Savanna's birthday, she got to pick what we did first. She wanted to go on the Pirate Ride! Owen didn't like this ride last year and kept saying he didn't want to ride it again but when we got there, he said he wanted to ride it:

Oh no! Owen's stomach got that funny feeling again and he did not like it at all:

Now it was Owen's turn to pick the ride since he endured that horrible pirate ride, lol! He picked the race cars and his sister was nice enough to go along for the ride:

Next up was Owen's favorite ride, the Bumble Bee (I'm not sure if that's what it's really called but it's Owen's favorite song from school so we just call it that):

Then Savanna convinced me to go on this Dragon ride with her. I don't know what I was thinking saying yes because this is one of those teacup-like rides where you spin in circles! And I get dizzy easily now in my old age, hahaha!

After all those rides, we were ready to eat. First up was cotton candy for the kids:

Then for the adults, we got a Tater Dog and Tater Twists. So good:

Something new this year that I wanted to try was the Chocolate Covered Corn Dog (it's small because on Tuesdays you can get sample sizes of certain food for cheaper so that's what I did) and it was really good too. The chocolate taste really dominated and the kids loved it, of course:

Gavin was pooped by then so it was nappy nap time for him:

After all that food, we decided to walk around and look at all the animals. We found the petting/feeding area and I took the kids in to feed the sheep, goats, and cows:

For some reason, I really enjoyed feeding this cow and could have done it all day:

Aren't they cute:

Petting a bunny:

Then we got our appetite back again so it was time to eat! This time, we got a blooming onion, grilled corn and:

Mexican Funnel Cake (yummy!):

Owen was spent by then so it was his turn to take a nappy nap in the stroller:

We walked around a little bit more and looked at what all the vendors were selling. Before Owen fell asleep he wanted ice cream, so when he woke up we got some soft serve for both of them:

Before we left, we picked up some kettle korn to eat in the car on the way home:

On the bus ride back to the car:

For dinner, we let Savanna pick where she wanted to eat. How they could still be hungry was beyond me! But she picked McDonalds(!) so we went with it. She got a yogurt parfait for dessert so we stuck a candle in it and sang Happy Birthday to her:

Happy Birthday sweet girl! We hope you enjoyed your day and we love you very much!!!
