Sonoma County Fair

There is nothing better than the county fair. Except the county fair when it's free. And your parking is free. Because you won tickets from your local library. Because you are awesome.

You'll note that the Sonoma County Fair doesn't mess around:

I can't even tell you how many times we had to return to the car to drop off our knives! Hundreds. Maybe tens of hundreds. Hundreds of hundreds?

A lady inside this little booth assured me that I ought not worry about money (Ha! She apparently is unaware of the ER visit bill I received the same week.) and that our family will live in the Chicagoland area for a couple of years. Also: two boys and a girl, if we so desire. Do we? Ask the Mister.

Who doesn't want to ride on the Black Widow formerly owned by Mr. Michael Jackson?! Oh. You? Me either.

Total bargain cheese on a stick: $3.50

Cowpoke and water pump, together at last

This is what we came to see, folks! The big event! The Amazing Acro-Cats!

I saw three minutes of this cat rock performance before H let me know he was sick of performing cats in various forms.
