Back in the Saddle



We took the family for an outing to the Palos Verdes street fair this weekend. There were pony rides, a petting zoo, carnival rides, and a Steely Dan revue. Who could ask for more? We started with the pony rides, which were a big hit with both kids, although Sadie's world came to crashing halt when it was time to get off her pony. Sadie had a full melt down. Fortunately there was a miniature horse and alpacas at the petting zoo and we were able to convince her that the petting zoo was almost as good as the pony rides. She did try to mount the miniature horse numerous times, but was luckily unsuccessful.

We finished up the afternoon with a walk through the fun house and a little Steely Dan. Jack was extremely excited to get to watch Pretzel Logic, the Steely Dan cover band, from his dad's shoulders. He definitely enjoys music. The kids last experience of the street fair was being introduced to a fully clothed dog wearing sunglasses and a hat. At that point it became clear that it was time to go home and say farewell to our best street fair yet.
