LA County Fair (9/1/12)

Last Saturday I went to the LA County Fair with my bf and friends. It was opening weekend so it was only $1 to get in from 10am - 1pm. It was extremely hot so we just went into the shopping center buildings to look at random things when we got there. At 1 we watched the Chinese Circus of Beijing and it was pretty entertaining watching the acrobats jump around, juggle, and balance things. The main event was this guy who stacked chairs (the first chair's legs were balancing on 4 wine bottles) about 2 stories high and did handstands on them. Everyone watching was like "WTF, more chairs?" every time a chair was brought out for him to place on the stack.

At around 2-3 pm we went to get food. My bf and I bought stuff from Pink's. I forgot what it's called but I ordered fries with chili, bacon, jalapenos, cheese, and some other things (I can't even tell what they were). x_x About half way through, I felt like a fatty. >.< I ate about 3/4 of it before giving up on eating it completely. We just sat around and took pictures because we were waiting for 4pm to come so we could play carnival games for cheaper. Here are some pictures we took:

Even with my overalls + blue sleeveless shirt + boater hat, it was still pretty hot. I probably got 1 or 2 shades darker. :/

Finally, 4pm came so the carnival games were cheaper. They were $2 instead of $5+. We took advantage of this and mostly played the water gun game since my friends knew the trick to winning. My bf and I split off the group after that to find a bathroom and we never went back because I wanted time alone with him. >.> The 1st of each month is our monthsary, so it was kind of a date... 

We tried the ring toss, ball and bucket toss, fish bowl toss, and balloon and darts (except they replaced the darts with those small plush balls). We won 4 prizes in total. A huge Tuxedo Sam plush (from the water gun game), a really soft cow plush (which I proudly got in 1 try from the ball and bucket toss), a duck plush (from the fish bowl toss), and a Despicable Me minion (from the balloon and darts game). It took a couple of tries for my bf to win the Tuxedo Sam plush, and the guy at the booth (who had this really cute Aussie accent) already knew him because he sat there for several rounds. You need to win 2 times before you win the large prize, and my bf won on his first try but he didn't win after that for a few rounds. :x When he finally won, the guy at the booth was messing with my bf and said he didn't want to give the prize to him. xD

We went back to the group, and took some pictures before leaving.

My bf and I agreed that we should give the duck plush to a random kid because we didn't really want it and we both wanted to make some kid's day. On the way out, I saw this little girl and I tapped her mom's shoulder and said, "Could you give this to your daughter? I don't really want it, so she can have it." After saying that, I scampered away embarrassed while the lady was telling her daughter to say thanks to me. (/ω＼) My bf looked at me and smiled at me because he thought it was cute that I was shy. 

After that, we left the fair and went to Genki Living to get some crepes, and headed home.
