Sunday, July 17

Welcome to the 29th Masterpiece Monday

We visited the Orange County Fair on opening day. You get in free between 12-1PM. 
You. wouldn't. believe. the. line.
But we don't care, we do it every year anyway.
We pride ourselves on never paying to get into the fair. 

 Our first stop was Centennial Farm. It's huge and has pretty much every veggie known to man, but I became very enchanted by the sunflowers.
 I think I may have to plant some.
 There's also a petting zoo with a lot of cute and friendly farm  animals.

 My favorite are the baby chicks.
 Adorable!
 One thing I want to show you is the Ice Museum. One of my very favorites at the OC Fair!

 They did an ocean theme this year, the detail is amazing!















 This is the first year that they added color to the ice museum, love this shark!

I like the way they used color ice to depict the coral reef.
I hope you enjoyed the tour of the Ice Museum!

    I've had your button on my sidebar for a few weeks and I also put your link under my post and it still won't let me link up! What am I doing wrong? http://caribbeanmissionarywife.blogspot.com/

    Thanks for posting the OC Fair photos!! I think I rather "do the fair" by looking at your pictures, than joining the crowd of people that go each year! I LOVE the Ice Museum!!

    Take care, Sue

    Oh would I love to go there with you. First of all I love fairs, and I love gardens. I would love to see the veggies growing and oh my the sunflowers! Sooooo beautiful. I'm sure by then you were ready for a cool place to visit and the ice museum is stunning. The colors and the shapes. To bad such beautiful art has to melt. Thanks for sharing your visit. Also many thanks for hosting MM.
