Carnie

We spent some time at the LA County Fair in Pomona today. Despite the extreme heat and crowds on opening weekend, we managed to have a fun family day. We enjoyed rides, animals, and, of course, lots of great people-watching! Fortunately, Braden had no desire to try the fried Twinkies, fried Snickers, fried frog legs, or any of the other exquisite treats the fair had to offer.
Looks like Braden was competing with the sheep to see who could "baa baa baa" better!! This competition would be a bit more entertaining than some of the other farm animal competitions taking place around the fairgrounds.
Braden showed off his sheep herding skills. He loved petting all the animals he could get his hands on, including a cow, pig, and lots of goats.
When Braden wasn't checking out the farm animals, he rode a few rides. He mastered yelling "weeeeee" on the rides.
Adults weren't allowed on this ride, so Braden had no problem riding alone.
Still a kid at heart, Matt made sure he still had soccer skills. Sadly, he didn't win the Mexican soccer jersey, but he did prove that he still has skills!
