It’s a tradition! We love spending a day at the Washington State Fair in Puyallup every September. We haven’t missed a year since JT was born. First stop: scones.
The kids wanted to ride some things, so we picked out bumper cars to do first.
JT and Jim were wearing their matching hats, thanks to Preston, who gave JT his hat that was just a bit too small.
Haley and I rode the octopus. I felt a little queasy, I’ll be honest. I think I may have to give up spinning rides (roller coasters, however, are just fine!).
Then we met the Bonnells – yay! – at the draft horse show and walked around together for a few hours…
Timber Gulch was a good find. It is way over by the green gate. It has hands-on activities for the kids like making butter, drilling holes, sawing wood, sifting wheat, grinding flour, and more. The kids had a great time pretending “Little House on the Prairie.”
Then scones, part two. After turkey legs and ice cream and elephant ears, that is.
Finally, we rode the new Grand Wheel as a family as the lights came on throughout the fairgrounds. We were there wayyyy too late for a school night, but we had a great time!
