The Hand Fam takes on the SD Fair!

Last week my girls had their last dance performance of the season at the San Diego Fair...they were awesome! After the performance we decided to "take on the Fair" and not just the fair, but all the deliciousness that the fair had to offer. We started out by trying to get wax hands of the girls' little hands, but once Lila's hand touched the "warm" wax she screamed and it was all over with; Keeva wouldn't even try it (even though we had been talking about doing it since the fair last year, when Keeva was too afraid to try). Maybe we'll have better luck with the wax hand in 2013!:) Anyway, after the wax hand strikeout, we ventured into the art gallery; where Keeva had a piece of art on display. I wish I would have taken a picture of her next to her art, but we were so baffled as to why "her pastel flower" was hung upside down that I forgot to snap a shot, oh well. My girlie girls LOVE Star Wars and so we had to take their pictures with the cardboard cut outs. Then we preceded to the food area...and boy was there some food. Keeva and Lila stared out the food binge by sharing a soft serve ice cream. Next we all tried a beer battered-bacon wrapped hot dog. We all got a bite, Keeva a few more than the rest of us; it was her favorite. Then we went on to explore the chicken sandwich on Krispie Cream donuts; it was gross. Keeva and Pat also tried a fried twinkie, which they enjoyed. Then we headed to the spa expo; there were so many amazing spas. Some spas had their own cabana and bar and others were just enormous...I was definitely having spa envy. Anyway, back to the food. Next we hit up Lila's favorite snack, pickles, only these pickles were fried, delicious! And with all the fried tastiness we decided we needed a few drinks, "Hello, Orange Julius", boy those were tasty! And last, but certainly not least, we found the red-velvet funnel cake; it was delicious! Of course by the time we got around to sampling that "bad boy" Lila had already passed out in the stroller, but don't worry, we saved her a nibble. The fair was a blast! We were only there for 6 1/2 hours, but by the time we got home, we were all dead tired! I wonder why?!
