Puyallup Fair 2013

So it's that time of year again! One of our favorite events, the  Washington State Fair in Puyallup has started and we attended, as we do every year, on Military Monday. Free admission, which saves a lot for our family of four! The kids had fun at the petting zoo and seeing all the draft horses. Sam is at a fun age this year as he really gets excited about the animals. We met up with some friends of ours, the Caldwell family, whose two boys are Sam and Grace's age.

 

Note the sign on the fence stating, "do not climb." Sam can't help himself as he views the donkeys.

The Fair is also full of food you shouldn't eat, but we all do way too much of that when we go! It's also chock full of fun rides, however, Sam was only tall enough to ride the train, and that was only after I gave the ride workers some gruff because he was just millimeters below the height requirement and I thought it was ridiculous. Scott will say it was not one of my better "Christian" moments :) Poor kid, he was not too happy watching Grace have all the fun. Although she barely made the cut off too. Scott and I grow little munchkins apparently.

The Fair isn't complete without Krusty Pups (corn dogs)

Mom LOVES carmel apples, and now Grace does too!
Sam is also a fan. Picking off the carmel and candy!

CHOO, CHOO!

Another fun day at The Fair. Grace enjoying all the lights on the rides as the sun goes down.

Until next year.....
