The theme of this year's fair was "Race to the Fair". Our family has a tradition of going to the Del Mar Fair together every year. We usually start the day by taking a family picture before going in.
We then make our way through all the exhibition halls. This year, we started with the Crusin' California exhibit where they had so many beautiful antique cars on display.
After crusin' through the exhibition halls, we staked out a table large enough to seat all six of us. Working as a team, we took turns buying our favorite foods and standing guard over our table.
PapaBear and I took the first shift at the table while the children paired up to buy their lunch picks.
Ana and Alia came back first with some deep fried shrimp and a shrimp cocktail to share. Delicious!
PapaBear decided to get his lunch from Pink's Hot Dogs where he bought a Marilyn Monroe hot dog.
Dakota decided on buffalo wings and a chili dog, while Jessica went with a chicago dog. So many choices! After lunch, we were on to having our faces painted.
After our faces were well decorated, we were on to the fair rides where the kids slid down the large rainbow slide then took on some more stomach turning rides which even left me a bit queasy and I wasn't even on the ride!
We finished our fun day at the fair by taking group pictures in the garden display area. We also made sure to take home some fudge from the Mackinaw Island Fudge stand.
One of our traditional stops is the beef jerky stand in Bing Crosby Hall where the girls get spicy pickles to share and Dakota gets his pick of beef jerky.
I went with my yearly favorite - crawfish and calamari! Also bought some mussels to share with everyone.
Ana went with a pink and red swirly design.
Jessica, a lightning bolt.
Alia, a blue purple combination.
And I went with a blue purple with glitter design.
Dakota and Jessica going nose to nose. Still can't get over the fact that he is now taller than her.
Another memorable family trip to the fair!
