My fun trip at the OC County Fair

hi! whats up people?!! im in summer camp as you know, and this week i went to the OC county fair.

It was great! We had brought lunch from home, so we sat down and had our lunches. After that we bought tickets for the rides and games,(i spent $15 on tickets). $1 for every 2 tickets! That day was an awesome day because all rides were 2 tickets!! Then we started having real fun!!

So the first ride we went on, was the mini fun house. As you enter the fun house, it has a glass maze; so if you go the wrong way, you might knock into glass!! And if you go the right way, then you can go up a flight of stairs, leading to the slide at the top. This slide was short but fast, I almost got a burn!

Then we went on a ride called Cyclone. Cyclone has 4 seats circled around each other hanging from a pole, and it has a little plate in the center so it looks like 4 chairs around a table. It spun around and around, and as you turned the center plate, it would make it turn on its own axis. It was fun and I didn’t even feel dizzy!

The next ride that we went on, was a ride called spaceship 2000 or something like that(i may be wrong.) The spaceship was cool because it spun so fast you stuck to the wall. One guy even got stuck sideways!!! That was cool and it sticks to my mind!

The next ride was the swing or something(I’m positive I’m wrong on this one) — it was just one of those two seaters which spins around going higher and higher, kind of like a tether ball being hit.

Then we went on the big fun house. This was definitely called Moscow circus. The big fun house has a bunch of things like a board that tilts side to side when you step on it, shifting stairs, a conveyor belt and more. At the top there is a big twisty slide in it. I flipped over, so i was going headfirst. Then i flipped back and came out sideways and got a bruise on my elbow. That part wasn’t very fun but it was still awesome!

Then we went on a ride which was like Cyclone, but much more chaotic. That was easily the worst ride of the day! Then there was the g force ride (i didn’t go on this) so i cant tell u about it. Then we went on tilt-a-whirl, a ride that goes on a wavy bottom that tilts and whirls.

After that, we went on this ride that looks like a dragon, it has stuff on the side that when u go backwards it has so much pressure it goes over your head.

Last but not least, we went on Hydro Slide, a water ride that has two channels that are full of water and you slide down. And boy, that did cool us down! Then there were the games like dart in a balloon, ring a bottle and many other usual games that you find at a fair.

So as you can see i had a great time at the OC county fair. I recommend this to all people who like fun!!!

Visit to the garment district in Los Angeles

Went to the garment district in Los Angeles today and really enjoyed going to fabric stores. It was amazing – fabrics from $1/yard to $100+/yard. So many colors and so many textures.

I spotted the one with ribbons that we all liked the best.

Here I am, surrounded by softness of black velvet.

Sledding and snow tubing at Mount Baldy!

We did some improvised snow sledding at the Mt. Baldy last year and it was kind of fun.

This year, there was a LOT of snow, so we figured we might do snow tubing!

We started out at about 11.00 am, went to McD for some fuel and warmth that we would need and in an hour we were approaching Mt. Baldy. We didn’t see any snow on the way or on the road, but as soon as we got to Mt. Baldy town, there was snow everywhere.

Traffic was very heavy and we could hardly move; cars were parked on both sides of the road and in the divider on the road. Lots of families taking their picnic lunch, blankets and snow sleds and finding good spots to ice sled!

There were several signs that said that if you are going to park on the street, you need to get a permit from the CA park department.

We marched along and got to the Mt. Baldy chair lift place . And the people at the chair lift were also selling parking at the spot for $5.00.

We had taken 4-5 sleds with us so if we wanted to, we could have just parked there and gone sledding. But we felt little more adventurous and decided to go for Snow tubing.

One of my friend, K., had never been on the ski lift before but she was very brave and it didn’t phase her.

I like snow; when you look at all the white stuff all around you, it seems like you are in a dream.

When we got up there, it was COOOOOOLLLLLLLDDDDD. Much colder than we expected it to be. But there was plenty of snow around.

We quickly went in to the cafeteria and warmed ourselves up and then went down to the snow tubing place. They all gave us tickets that we were supposed to put on our jackets.

We did a few trips on the snow tubing and it was a great deal of fun. I think if it wasn’t that cold, and if the place wasn’t as crowded, we might have stayed there longer and enjoyed it a bit more.

We quickly went back to the cafeteria and got some hot chocolate. There is nothing more warming than a cup of hot chocolate when you are very very cold.

 

They also had a little stove in the cafeteria and my dad toasted the gloves and the hats on the stove and it felt so so good.

Then we went down on the ski lift and suddenly felt this white powder falling. For a moment we thought it was artificial snow, but it was actually real snow coming down…. Sitting on the ski lift, going down with snow falling was very dreamy.

Here are my suggestions; if there is a lot of snow, you can just go to the Mt. Baldy area, get a parking permit and park on the side and you will find a lot of good sledding areas all around. Or you can just go to the end and park at the Snow lift area at Mt. Baldy. Or you can go up and take the ski lift; and if you can carry a sled with you, you can have fun with that.

It was cold, but enjoyed ourselves; and then we even did a slumber party, where we played on the DS, the computer and had a Pizza Party!

I am in India right now! Having a lot of fun!

 

I am in the north Part of India now (Delhi); then I will go to the east part of India (Gujarat) and then I will go to the West part of India (Bengal – Kolkata). South will have to wait, I guess!

My aunt gave me a Bakugan! How did that happen? I didn’t think anybody knew about Bakugans in India.

Colossal Fun at Colossus ride : Six Flags Magic Mountain Park Visit

[Click on the picture below for a better, full and scary view.]

I went on this roller coaster! Can you believe that?

I didn’t think this was going to be very scary, but trust me, I was terrified! Look at how huge and how high this thing is!

But after lots of ups and down, I felt good and excited. It was worth it! I was so scared that my throat was completely dry! I was so scared that I even screamed on the little bumps because I thought they were the “BIG ONES”, so I screamed ahead to prepare myself. And then after, I thought, “ohh.. that wasn’t big..” and then it stopped in the middle, and I thought it was done. By the time I had asked my seat mate, I was already at the next drop.

And what do you think, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA…hhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!

But over all, this roller coaster was awesome!

I also went to some other interesting rides, like Ninja

This ride was fun! Because it wasn’t like a regular coaster where you go on top of a track, but here you hang from the track and it makes very sharp turns. It’s little bit weird in the begening, because this guy keeps saying..

“have a good ride. Heiya….” like a little kung-fu Ninja…

We had to walk up a big hill to get there.

After that was Gold Rusher:

This was mild compared to others. It went fast, but it didn’t drop much; but it really had fun sharp turns like you see in the picture here. This would be a good ride to go to for your first roller coaster ride.

My favorite ride was the Log Jammer. It was fun, because you got wet! You will be floating in a log and you will be pulled up a little and then you will be going down two drops! The first one is kind of small, kind that gets you refreshed and alert and then the second one takes your breath away.

It was a fun, a colossal fun day for sure!

Now I know for sure that the Summer has started!
