Puyallup Fair

We headed out to the fair last weekend and had some summer fun!




Of course we had to ride the carousel. It is one of two original carousels fro way back when the engines were made in a wagon--ya know, for the traveling circus.



Circa 1917--it was great and the girls enjoyed it:)





It was quite toasty at the fair--so we got them their own slushies--mmmm...





The Brahmin Bull


There was a great tent set up to portray life in Africa--it was cool:) They got to play the drums, carry water jugs, and grind up corn and wheat~







And, we saw some cows. What would afair be without the smelly animals?!




Dalaina milkin' a cow.

Faith milkin' a cow....This here pic was funny. As we were walking, all of the cows were brown or black, even grayish in color. When we came to Bessie here, Faith said "Mom, look a real cow!!"

I guess to a child, if you are not white with black dots, you are not real?

We also had some fun in this fun house. Dalaina flew down the slide. Faith walked into a plexi wall! It was great:)


And we ended the day with some cotton candy of course!


mm..mm...good!

And then, it was time to walk about four blocks up a gentle grade to get back to our van---

DAD did all of the work~!
