Doin' the Puyallup!

Yep, the good old Puyallup fair has been going on. It's such a big deal around the Seattle area. At one time, it was the largest fair in the country! That's just a tid bit of information that Jeremy shared with me today... Anyways, we went today and had such a good time. We figured, being a week day that there wouldn't be much of a crowd. The crowd was a little more than expected, but totally ok still. Not like any Saturday or anything! It's great because we get in free every year thanks to Jer's aunt, who works in the Art Pavillion at the fair. She gets us free parking too! Thanks Aunt Georgia! Samantha had a blast riding rides and Parker enjoyed the cows. I mostly enjoyed the food. I was hot and tired by the time we got to the animals, so I didn't get any shots of that. Oh well. So, here's a few pics of our fair fun!


Parker, working on a corn dog for lunch.



This huge slide looked really fun. I would have loved to go on some rides, but Samantha always wanted Jer to take her. How sad!



Parker waiting oh so patiently for Samantha to get done with the ride she was on.



I thought for sure Sam would be scared of this "ghost" ride. She wasn't at all. She only said it was loud.



This isn't a great shot, but you get the picture. She loves merry go rounds and of course Jeremy got to go again. Actually, by that time I was used to her wanting to do it with him so I didn't even ask.



Sam milking a pretend cow. The utters were just full of water and they had a bucket there to do some milking.

  1. We hit the puyallup this week too! It looks like you guys had a great time. Jack climbed the stairs to do that big slide, but chickened out at the last minute.

  2. Hooray for the fair! We were there yesterday and had a lot of fun too! We spent most of our time looking at the animals. Perhaps we'll brave the rides next year.

  3. Great fun!! And with free parking and admission it makes it all that much more enjoyable. Your kids are so cute. It sounds Samantha had a good time. Fair food is great.
