Do the Puyallup

Apparently the state is doing a big push to have folks no longer call the Puyallup Fair the Puyallup Fair, but to call it the "Washington State Fair"...not gonna happen Washington, not gonna happen - sorry, but nice try!

My good friend Karena and I decided to get the boys together today and thought going to the Puyallup Fair would be the fun thing to do - we were right.  We weren't counting on it being almost 90 degrees when we made these plans a few weeks ago, but I'm not really complaining...just kind of. It was so flippin' hot today - there is very little shade and the sun beating off of the pavement was almost enough to make me cry!  I love the heat, don't get me wrong, but this was just torture today! All of the kids did great - it was just us mom's complaining, but boy did we go through a lot of water!

The kids enjoyed the heck out of rides, food and fun today!  Both Luke and Zane got Dizzy Passes, so they had unlimited rides - I just bought Landon $20 worth of tickets and thankfully that turned out to be just enough!  He isn't as excited about rides as Zane is - but he does like to go on them, but is usually done with them a lot quicker.  Zane will go on any ride that he's tall enough for and will go on it 100 times if he can - he's like his mama!





Waiting in line to drive the cars - his favorite ride of course!

He rode this twice.  They didn't accept single riders, so thankfully he turned on the charm to this girl!

Such a good big brother taking Landon on the train ride AGAIN - he loved it!



Another good friend Jen lives very close to the fairgrounds so to save a few bucks, I parked at her place and the boys and I walked down her huge hill to the fair...I knew walking back up that thing in 90 degrees wasn't going to be fun - but it would be worth it to save the dough for rides instead!  But thankfully Karena took pitty on us and drove us back to Jen's to my car :)  Obviously the boys didn't have their booster seats, so they thought there were tough stuff sitting in the back seat just buckled in! It was a short ride, no one call CPS on us :)
