The Puyallup Fair

September 14th Monday

Bryan, Porsche, Mircea, Casper, Dewey and Darren all go to the fair. It is Military Monday, so everyone with a military ID gets in free. The guy at the gate thought Dewey and Darren were also our kids, so they got in free as well.--and trust me, it is only the fact that they got in free that made me not get VERY offended at the guy for thinking I was that old!


Walking to the Fair
Darren had been here before but this was Dewey's first time

For some reason they thought they were too cool to wander the barns with us, so they went on the rides


Cea tromping through the barns

Cea "milking a cow"
Too bad you sold your Dairy, Grumpy!
You could have hired Cea to work for you! She was a pro!

Bryan teaching Mircea how to milk-hmmm I bet some of his siblings never saw him milk!

I think Cea liked the little sinks the best at the fair

She had just seen the movie Charlotte's Web, so these little "Wilbur's" were quite a hit as well.

Petting Wilbur

Casper liked to wander around by himself.
He is quite independent and stubborn.

Watching some funny clowns

Baby chicks


After visiting the barns it was time to go on the rides. Cea was quite excited for this part. She is such a big girl!

Now on a 4-wheeler

Thank you for being so patient Casper

uhoh, they must have run out of money, or they are hungry--cuz they are back!

Cea's roller coaster

Riding an Alligator

She barely squeaked by on these signs!

Posing with the uncles!

Uh, Doesn't look like she is tall enough for this ride

Now she's tall enough!

On the ride with Daddy--she can barely peer over the bar! :)

On the river in her canoe

It can be so quick to go from this


To this. . .
She pushed Casper down in a grumpy huff, cuz Daddy and Darren had gone on a ride without her

Life gets happy when Darren comes back

We are already looking forward to next year!

How sweet these are. It seems like just yesterday that our little kids were giggling their way around the little canoe ride (Dakota's favorite) and squealing their way down the big yellow banana slide (one of Marina's many favorites). Those days go so fast!
