Do the Puyallup!

I am happy to report we DID THE PUYALLUP!! A couple of Tuesday's ago we decided to head down to the Puyallup Fair with Lori, Andrew, and Mason. I'm not sure how but we picked the best day to go. We had perfect weather, no over the top crowds, and some free passes. How do you beat that? Addy is still below that magical height requirement to ride on the big rides but there were a couple that we were able to take her on. Here is Addy and Kristi riding on the new, high-tech, an glamours train. Hey, don't laugh it goes through a tunnel!!


Addy and I decided to tackle the Giant Slide together. The biggest surprise for me is how fast you get moving on this thing. It wasn't scary but the thought of throwing Addy off my piece of carpet and saying, "Every man for himself!" did cross my mind!! I'm just kidding I could of never thrown you off Addy.....I think! We actually didn't take any pictures of us coming down because we took video instead. That's why you don't see our smiling faces but we will try and upload the video down the road.

Easton just chillin in his seat. I'm pretty sure he is thinkin, "Why does Addy get to go on all the rides and all I get are these stupid stuffed animals hanging off my seat?"

What is a fair without the animals. Addy loves the animals. We were a little disappointed because all the cows went back to the farms already. I mean, SERIOUSLY!!! How do they allow the cows to go home a week early? It's a fair!!

Here Addy and I are check-en out the chickens!!

We found this old picture of Addy and I look-en at the chickens a year ago. Look how much she
has grown. Don't worry I still look the same!!

Addy on the train, inside the tunnel. I told you this train was impressive. I love this picture and the next picture because Addy doesn't really smile for the camera a whole lot but for some reason she decided to put a lot of effort into these 2 pictures.

Kristi and Addy enjoying the free glass of milk you get at the fair. I love the visor she looks so sporty wearing it.

Here are Andrew and Addy enjoying the petting farm. I'm not exactly sure if this is a good face or a bad face on Addy. She LOVED the animals but hated her shoes because the sawdust/hay would get inside and bother her feet.

Addy's first ride at the fair was on this canoe. For the first minute she cried but then I walked with her around the outside and she seemed to be fine. Of course Andrew was like, "Where's the motor on this....Can I ski behind this thing."

Coming around the bend. I think next year she will be above that magical high requirement so stay tuned for a lot more ride pictures. I'm not sure if that is a good thing or bad thing!!!

I love it! I'm a fan of the fair in general, but this year was way more fun than ever before. I think that's why I love all the fair pictures so much!

The two pictures of Addy giving you a real smile are adorable.
