The Fair

This time every year..

just as the kids go back to school we have the

Western Washington Fair

in

Puyallup

can anyone from out of state pronounce

~Puyallup~

(Pew all up)

tricky huh, we have all sorts of Indian names that

drive people crazy trying to figure them out

anyway.....

Sometimes we see a show and that dictates the day we go

Sometimes we wait for a good day

~no rain~

But we always go

When I was young it was

~Dad~

that always made sure we went

then when I had kids he made sure he took them

every year without fail

my kids still remember grandpa and

~The Fair~

Now it's the

 ~Hubs~

who has to go...

even if it is just for a few hours to reminisce about our childhood

how we got out of school one day each year for

~The Fair~

So we make our way through traffic to go....

Do the Puyallup

We don't need this yet

we still walk

but someday this will be the only way

we can go

I love in order;

~Scones~

Everybody in Western Washington

knows what a scone is and it has to be

Fisher

 and they just don't taste the same when you make them at home

even with the mix they sell

We get dozens and take them to the relatives that couldn't

make it out

This year Hubs sisters got a dozen

my Mom only wanted 1/2 dozen...

They have a hard time keeping up with the demand

sometimes the line is 50 people long

but we all wait patiently

Of course there is other food ...

 We split a meal,

 after a few scones we didn't think we could even eat this but we had to try

$25 for this...yikes

 see the smoke from this BBQ pit

I love that smell

~Quilts~

How can you even pick a favorite?

This was the big winner

 Someday I would love to be one of these ladies

 I would have taken this flag one home if I could have

 I LOVED these two

Someday......

When I was a kid I took my horse to the fair

so I still like to go see the animals

depending on what shoes I'm wearing...

~The Livestock~ 

 Ok... this is way too cute

We don't do this anymore

 We definitely don't do this

We find we do more of this...

people watching while sitting
&
eating!

It was a great day

Have you had your fair yet?
