California State Fair 2005
Aden at the Cal State Fair last year (2004) & this year (2005)
We took Aden to the state fair last year. He was barely 3months old then. I remember how gruesome it was for me to drag him with his big suv of a stroller, oven temperature heat and finding a secluded spot to nurse him.
This year it was less challenging for us to take him. He's eating regular food, drinking any non-alcoholic drinks (I hope that lasts forever) and a lightweight stroller is perfect. There are pros and cons at this stage. When he was a baby, we just left him in the stroller and only worry if he gets hungry. Now, he tries to stand in his stroller and once in a while would wander off to enjoy his newly discovered sense of independency. We wanted to let him try the rides but there was a height limit of 36" for kids who need to be accompanied by an adult and 48" for regular individuals. Aden's about 31" so he still has 5 more inches to go.
We decided to go to the exhibits instead. Honestly, it's the best thing to do there because all the buildings are air-conditioned. There were about a dozen exhibits and they were all good. Aside from the rides and exhibits, they have live concerts & entertainment, kids zone, animal racing, livestock farm and shows, agricultural products of California display, an impressive sand sculpture, etc.
We were there for about 4hrs and we still missed some of the stuff they have. The place is so huge and there's a gazillion things to do in there.
Just in case someone reads this and is interested in going, the fair ends on Sept 5th, 2005 or for more information logon to http://www.bigfun.org.
