Chili Cook-Off

To make up for the horrible haunted hike, Shannon, Jeff and I took the girls to the CVFD chili cook-off at the Chino Fairgrounds.  As soon as you walk onto the fairgrounds, there were 2 huge jumper slides.  Of course the girls had to go on.  We bought them each access to unlimited slides and the petting zoo. 

I was worried at first about Kalea being able to climb up the ladder to get to the top of the slide.  But big sister Brooklyn did a great job helping her and making sure she made it up to the top.

After the jumpers, we moved on to the petting zoo.  They had to be escorted by an adult so Jeff went in with them.

After the petting zoo, we stood in a short but forever line for the girls to get balloon butterflies.

Then we moved on to the chili!  They had about 10 booths set up and you paid $1 to get 3 tastings.  We went to most of them and all were pretty good.  Brooklyn liked the once best that were offering free crackers.  The girls also scored a blow pop each and a skeleton ring.  We had a quick lunch and then decided to call it a day.  As we were walking out, the firemen were holding a contest to try to squirt the weight to their opponent’s side.  The girls had a fun time and declared it was better than the haunted hike!
