Ventura Fair and the Beach

On August 8th we went to Ventura fair in Ventura, Ca. It was the first time that we had gone since Trent was a baby. Jake and Trent had a fun time riding rides, playing midway games and looking at all the fun things that there is at the fair. Jake and Trent also enjoyed being able to pick whatever they wanted to eat.

There were so many fun little characters to be able to pose and take pictures of the boys with. I love this one of Jake and Trent with the roasted corn men. Aren't they cute.

Each of us rode one ride with the boys. I rode the ferris wheel with Jake and Eric rode it with Trent.

Jake and Trent enjoyed being able to ride one ride with us. It was nice to be able to just be with one of them. This is the view from the ferris wheel. Isn't it gorgeous.

We had lots of fun at the fair. We saw a family friend at the fair we hadn't seen since Trent was a baby. Life was so great that day while we were out of the nice Vegas heat. We enjoyed the nice cool weather of Ventura. Can't you tell I am in pants. I also got a nice sunburn on my neck that was exposed.

The next day we went to the beach before leaving to go back to Vegas. The boys had so much fun at the beach and playing in the ocean with their dad.


Can you find Jake in the picture? Jake felt the strength of the ocean.

This is has far as I will go in to the ocean. I have such a fear of the water. But I went down and put my feet into the water.
Even mommy went down and put her feet in the water. But that is as far as I will go.

Trent wanted so bad to build a sand castle with daddy so they tried.

And it was sad to go back home but we had to be back home for Eric and Bruce to go to work. It was a nice short little visit with family and friends. Hopefully we will be able to spend time with them longer the next time we are there.
