The Evergreen State Fair! A Thursday Adventure

A summer is never complete without a trip to the Evergreen State Fair. And since the fair opened today and it was free admission until 1pm... Let's just say it had Thursday adventure written all over it!


Last year Reid was so tiny that he didn't even notice we were at the fair. This year he was thrilled and delighted to see all the animals. He wanted to touch everything and everything was a piggie.


As usual Auntie Angie and Rory came with us on our adventure and we had a great time hanging out with them. Mr. Rory is getting so big!


Zane was very excited to see Rory. I think he wants to be very best friends with him as he is growing up. It is very cute to see them bonding.


Andrew was very happy to pet animals and push the stroller for me most of the day. He is quite the big helper these days.


Still enough of a kid to love the fair!


We only had one mishap the entire day. In the very first barn we were looking at the pigs and all of a sudden I couldn't find Gwen. At all. She was nowhere to be seen and I started getting a little bit panicky.


I went all the way to the front of the barn that we were in and there she was standing with some lady who was patiently waiting for this poor child's mom to show up. She was a little scared and I was a whole lot scared. She didn't get out of the stroller for quite awhile after that. I don't know what she was thinking other than she must have gotten twisted around in the barn and not known where we were. Regardless, that is a panic I hope I NEVER have to feel again.


Some lunch, Alaskan Pig races, an elephant ear (cinnamon and sugar!) and more animals and we called it a day.

All in all it was a great adventure at the fair. Can't wait to do it again next year!
