For the past two or three years between July and August, Lauren and I like to spend at least one day (i.e. 2-3!) out of those two months indulging ourselves in oh so "deep fried everything and anything you could probably think of" goodness.  What could you possibly deep fry besides chicken?!!  How bout, Snickers, Oreos, Twinkies, White Castle!, Avacados and even Frog Legs?!!!  Ok so we didn't eat ALL of that but they were readily available at the flip of the buck if we chose.  Diet??! What's that?!  As you could imagine that word gets thrown out the door during this day.  And where do we do this?!...the OC Fair!

  Here's Lauren just as we entered pondering what our next trip to the OC Fair will entail...

One of the things I got to do at the fair this year besides eat, eat and eat some more, obviously was take the trusty ole' camera.  **Disclaimer: Although Lauren is pregos, and it appears she is ordering or eating or scarfing all that food, we did SHARE ALL our meals!** =)

This shot was taken as we pulled into the parking lot.  I was so concentrated on getting in and finding spot that I almost missed this awesome light!  Gotta love the color of the sky when the sun sets!  I was super stoked when we we got this and the best part is that minus a bump in contrast and blacks, this shot is basically straight out of the camera!
