Fair Day!

Who's been to the San Diego County Fair yet? I have- today! We went with our mom's friend, Asia, and their gang. We went to see Asia's daughter, Penny, dance. She was in 3 dances. They were all so cute! A girl from my school went, too. She and her sister who just graduated from 5th grade were in dances. For lunch, we had Kettle Corn, churros, and corn dogs. After lunch we went to see Bernadette, Asia's mom, and her garden display. They had collections there, and Asia, her husband, Bobby, and her sister, Astra, all entered something. Asia and Astra entered quilts, and Bobby entered his G. I. Joes. There was a quilt club, and they let us make little quilt squares. A nice man had a collection of coins from around the world. He let kids take 2 for free. I got Canadian and Filipino coins.
While my mom's friend and her gang started to leave, our gang was at the sunglasses booth. I had always wanted Ray Bans, and they had those there but for less $. I got a red pair, and at checkout, Mom asked if they had mini Ray Bans for my little brother and sister. They did. My brother got black and my sister got white. We left and were in line to get on the buses back to the Horsepark (which was used as the parking lot) when we saw mom's friend and her gang! They were in line, too. They got on a double decker and were off for Horsepark. I didn't know it, but we got on the same double decker as them! Theirs had come back around to the bus stop- probably because they didn't have enough people. Mom and brother and me and sister split up- me with sister on the top, mom with brother on the bottom with the stroller. We had got up the steps when the first thing I saw was Lethia, Asia's sister in law, and Astra. The first thing I heard was "Hey, you guys made it!" and Penny shouting,"You guys are here!!!" She sat with us on the ride to the horse park.
We went home, told Dad to watch the kids who had fallen asleep, and got in Dad's car to go to Asia's house. Asia was going to have a tote bag making craft at a local library in San Ysidro. Only 1 kid had signed up, but it went from that to having not enough supplies. Asia had buttons, string, a sewing kit, felt, markers, pens, a button maker, a computer, a printer, iron on sheets, an iron, and paper. You could have a picture ready to copy and print, or you could make a design. With my bag, I had big primary color buttons alternating with bright red heart ones. I was also going to scan some pictures from my magazine but we did that at Asia's house. My picture were of Miranda Cosgrove from iCarly, Selena Gomez from Wizards of Waverly Place, and Demi Lovato from Sonny with a Chance and Camp Rock. There was a lady who had a daughter making a bag, and she had wanted to make one, too. She had all her stuff copied and everything, she was ready to have it ironed on, when she DIDN'T HAVE A BAG. So my mom gave her hers. We left the library after everyone's bag was finished. We made buttons at Asia's house. Mine had a cartoon heart on it. I also got some Asia had made, part of her company on Etsy, Toshwerks. Well that's it for now. Bye!
