Super fair

Today's post is split into three sections for easy digestion...in contrast to some of the food featured below.

We've spent the day at the Orange County Super Fair (like a normal fair, but more super). Having experienced the one in Alameda we were more prepared for the crazily-priced food, sickness-inducing fairground rides, and strange competitive events. There was also a good range of farm animals on display, with milking demonstrations and honey bee talks, and a couple of extra special treats. But you'll have to wait for the next posts for those!



A couple of pasty Englishmen apply the factor 70.



It's the OC - everything is super!


Hot and popular.



Hannah tries her hand at animal throwing, and wins a granola bar.



We'll be back here later...



On another stall! And this one was impossible to resist.



Here they are (Twinkie - left, Oreos - right).



James tucks into some spongy, creamy, deep-fried goodness.



I'm less impressed with the Oreos. More of a doughnut with an Oreo cooked inside.



Frankie learns about sensible diet choices.



Llamas: always looking down at you.



A watusi, a breed of African cattle that uses its horns to cool itself! Clever.



Popcorn chicken.



Chipolatas.



Farmer Frankie.



Bees doing some very cool things, like dancing and making honey!



Frankie the surfing lemon.



There were just too many photo opportunities (sorry!)



This stall has no business being at a county fair.



That's better.



Our resolve, such as it was, finally gives way, and James cannot resist a funnel cake (deep fried batter) topped with ice cream and chocolate sauce.


Gen does the honours.



Before...



After!
