The Ventura County Fair is one that always makes me sentimental.  I remember going often as a kid because my Grandma Ina sold her honey there.  She was about the cutest little bee-keeper you ever did see.  I don’t really remember riding the carnival rides or anything, but I do remember the atmosphere.  And I remember looking at the animals.  I’ve taken Stevie the last 2 years and while he isn’t impressed by much yet, this year was a little more fun than last.  And next year will be even better, I’m sure.

Plus the kid did ride a pony, and that was just crap-your-pants-adorable.
