Consider "The Puyallup" done


Fair day today! We had the genius idea to park at Destiny's house (my brother Erik's wife) and save on parking fees. The house just a couple down from hers was making bank charging $10 a car, but the whole street was a "no parking zone" so we got lucky she lives there :)  We walked down in a little sprinkle which was off and on throughout the time we were there. By the end, it was raining pretty hard though. We pretty much just walked around, avoiding the ride and animal areas because i dont really like those lol. When we first came in the little kids were doing that thing where they hold the sheep and try to stay on like rodeos.  Andy says Sawyer is totally going to do that one day. I think it looks barbaric though- you are pulling on the poor sheep's wool and skin and making it run through the mud, only to have your kid thrown off eventually... :(  I'm not into PETA or anything, and pretty much hate animals as a general rule, but things like that (and hunting) bother me so much! I just wish they could live in a giant pasture eating grass and not have to worry about kids tugging on them lol. Anywho, we visited the hobby hall and got our Earthquake Burgers ($25 for a double cheeseburger, fries, and drink which we shared all of them and was more than enough) which is the main reason for going to the fair anyway. I also heard Dierks Bentley singing "sideways" (didnt want to buy tickets to the concert though) which was kind of cool too. Sawyer loved it- he was not sleepy at all and you could tell he was just amused by everything going on. He wouldnt even eat at all most likely because he was over-stimulated; we tried to feed him long after he should have been hungry and he wouldnt even take it. Here are a few pictures:

We ran into Natalie and family, and she took our picture- andy's arm muscles are huge as you can see here- lifting all that propane lol.  We are both pretty sweaty because it was so warm and muggy!



Today was also my cousin Kerrie's wedding. It was actually sunny this morning so that was nice. It was on lake tapps on a golf course.

You cannot see it very well unless you look in the trees, but we parked at my Aunt Irene's house since she lives on Lake Tapps and carpooled over to the park w/ my parents, and in the short time we were gone, a spider had built an entire web from our antenna (left) to the corner of the house (right) CRAZY. I felt bad driving away!
