We did the Puyallup.


Arriving at the fair with our crew. All ready for some fun, food and more food.

One of the lame rides they thought they needed to go on. I would have saved my tickets for some more thrilling rides, but it was up to them.

Samantha upset because she wanted to be on that lame ride that cost too much.

The juggling/comedy husband and wife team. We see them every year and the kids find it entertaining. The clown did repremand Alexis and I for talking during his show. He said that it was driving him crazy and he didn't need any help in that dept. Nice.

Nice foot massagers for a quarter. The kids had just arrived at the fair. It gave them an extra hot to their step, I guess.

These monkeys and baboons were amazing. I wish I could train kids the way he can train this baboon.

Very cute.

Emily and her friend Sydney. My friend, Christie, met us with her 5 kids. It was so good to see her and her sweet family!

Nothing is better than these two girls in the heat eating snow cones. Banana and rootbeer were their choices. They switched flavors halfway through. That is what sisters are for.

You can't go to the fair without making a massive button with your picture on it. Here is a picture of the kids while sitting on a monster lazy chair ready for their close-up.

As we were leaving the fair to go home Tyler found several more tickets in his pockets. We decided to leave the rest of our group and ride one last ride. We jogged through the park to find the "kamakazie" ride, rode that until I was ill, then jogged back to the car. I had a side ache since I had just finished the strawberry shortcake that was so delicious. I went to the fair, just for that shortcake made with their famous scones. Okay, and to carry on the tradition. Until next year...

I love the Puyallup Fair. And it isn't complete until you get sick. Good thing you squeezed that in.

Hello! I'm so glad I stumbled upon your blog (LL). I've thought a lot about your family and wondered what was up. You and I both moved at the same time, I think, and we lost touch. I cannot believe you have five! You have been busy! Your family is beautiful. Amy Jo

I'm jealous too! It's not worth moving back to WA for though! But it's a great perk for being there.
Was Marshall there with you guys?
That Strawberry Shortcake sounds yummy. I know you've been looking forward to that!
Hannah looks cute in the picture on the big chair. It looks like she's a good big sister.
