"It's terrific... the Aquarium of the Pacific"

Last Saturday, my mom and I took the Bug the the Aquarium in Long Beach. Turns out that was also the same date and location of one of the Red Bull Flugtag events. Made for an interesting day.

Here are just a few of the 150+ pics I took:

OC Fair (year 2) 08/15/2010

Sydney's 2nd visit to the Fair. We went on the last day. I decided we just had to go and show her the animals - envisioning her pointing and "ooooh'ing". That isn't exactly how it went down. Bug may like animals in books - however anything bigger than a chicken (in real life), she was not a fan of. A lot of crying, turning away, and just general unhappiness started out our Fair visit. Poor Buggy.

Arriving at the Fair

"Farmer Jim"

Buggy did enjoy the chickens and baby chicks

In the Expo Pavillion, Mommy bought a Big Pickle. Bug had a bite, then demandingly did her sign for "more" over and over again. Mommy and Bug shared a pickle.

Nom Nom Nom

we had to try it (Dana and I, not Bug)

and here it is. Deep Fried Butter. Really it's a fried Churro filled with a butter & cream cheese mixture. It was tasty but way too rich. They only give you 2 little pieces, but over a bed of churro-type fries (which were also pretty tasty)

We went to see the "Weird Al's Brain" movie & exhibit. Buggy knocked out (and stayed that way for 2 more hours until we got to the car when we were leaving.

Sleeping Bug and some big Snakes

This goat looks like he's had a rough night. This doesn't even look comfortable.

Pouty Sleepy Face. Love the bottom lip.

Ah! Now that we're at the car, look who wakes up!
