Ted Goes on Summer Vacaction! (part 3)

C (Ted's partner in crime) convinced Julie to ride the OC Fair's famous ski lift ride again (after a quite nerve wrecking ride last year). More, he convinced her to let him hold Ted over the crowd (over 162 feet below) to take a photo. Julie almost had a heart attack FOR Ted, because as you can see, he was quite happy.

Ted (and family) gave in a shelled out $1 a piece (Ted was free) to see the "Giant Florida Gator". However, Ted was only mildly impressed after watching the last half of the latest season of Swamp People on the History Channel. Also, the gator looked quite dead.

Although the fair's livestock exhibition ended a few weeks ago, Ted still got to see some pretty impressive animals. This steer was the "coolest": laying down in the shade and chewing the cud.

The OC Fair features an outdoor and indoor floriculture exhibit, both difficult to find. Ted only found this one, and had to take a photo to document his feat.

The fair also has a section called Centennial Farm much like the California State Fair with life crops growing and examples of farm animals.

And now: ON TO THE MAIN EVENT! Ted really came to the fair to see his favorite band: WEEZER! The show was amazing, although pictures are slim because the camera batteries (Kodak brand -.- ) died. Fear not! Fun was had by all!

Ted Goes on Summer Vacaction!

On Thursday Ted (and family) left home to go on a trip to Costa Mesa, CA and Pismo Beach. But he couldn't make it two hours without breakfast at McDonald's. Here is is at the McFarland Mickey D's getting his egg McMuffin on.

Ted's mom bravely drove through all the L.A. traffic to get Ted safely to the Orange County Fairgrounds for his first stop.

Ted's first photo op came in the form of the fair's cool cow.

And of course, he had to stop for a world famous Old West Cinnamon Roll. Soon Ted will be eating the best cinnamon rolls on the Pacific Coast in Pismo Beach.

While touring the Woodworking building for Ted's grandparents he found a man making "crazy puzzles". They have no flat edges and are painted the same on both sides. This small one took about 5 minutes to complete by Teds cohort, C. The man tells us that these puzzles can be completed then picked up by one of the knobby bits and hung from the wall. Ted was too scared of ruining his good work to try.

The fair's theme this year is "Let's Eat!" and the exhibition building showcased sustainable eating habits and lifestyles. See if you can find Ted in the Fair's "Live Eat Grow" sign!

SPOILERS!: Here he is!

A favorite of the fair, the Russel Brothers Circus. Ted is already excited even before the show starts!

Ted happily poses for pictures even while the show is going on!

Stay tuned for more of Ted's Summer Vacation!
