Celebrate Fairfax Was a Lot of Fun

I love county fairs so when my sister asked me if the boys and I wanted to join her and her daughter Jessie at Celebrate Fairfax, I jumped at the chance.

Celebrate Fairfax is a giant, giant county fair. There' something for everyone and it's super fun. Knowing the government parking structure nearby would fill up fast, CJ, MJ and I left the house as early as we could, which was 10:00am. We got there close to 11:00am but we still got parking. Phew!

Celebrate Fairfax has kiddie games and rides, adult games and rides, crafts, jewelry, petting zoo, live performances, and all kinds of fair food. We stayed in the kid alley, which has kid-friendly rides and food.

CJ and Jessie rode the train, the roller coaster, etc. Since Dina doesn't do spinny rides, I rode an octopus with Jessie.

Unfortunately, Jessie got sick right after lunch. She got really dizzy and threw up and couldn't recover, so Dina and Jessie went home. I hung out with the boys for a little bit longer and CJ went to a disco ride, we watched kids ride a mechanical bull, etc.

The highlight for CJ was winning a goldfish at a ring toss game. For $3, he got to toss ping pong balls into cups. One of the ping pong balls went in, so he got a 0.50 goldfish, which then cost us $84 because Maki and CJ went to Petsmart to get a tank, food, plastic plant, plastic rock, water conditioner, yada, yada.

CJ decided to be funny and sit in MJ's stroller, so MJ decided to try and push him.

I love this cute photo of the boys sharing a slushie!
