Centeral Washington State Fair

Who doesn't LOVE the fair. We had a great time this year. The kids really got into all of the animals and the activities that they had set up. I only let them choose one ride to go on while they were there. I know we are so mean, not mean just poor. Each ride was about $4, what is the world coming to, I remember when I was a kid we could go on all of the rides for $4. Anyway, enough I am showing my age. They did have some things that were FREE too so that was nice. The kids got to do a tractor pull (which is what the first pic is of) the kids were eliminated when they could not pull the weight in the tractor behind them. Mason did not win, however he pulled 225 pounds, and that was more than most of the 10 yr. olds could pull. He is so cute and shy. He did not want to even participate, but Lacey did not give him a chance. She pushed him out from the crowd. ( I am so glad that they came together). We even got to see a SEA LION show. The kids got a big kick out of that, we waited for 30 minutes to get front row seats, (that's a long time with 3 kids and a Lilly) We ate a bucket of fries while we waited, it helped a little. Lilly really likes Ketchup, she drank a couple of packets worth. YUCK! The kids asked if they could pet this cow, the girl was really cute and Emery was excted to listen to it's heart. (She is going to be a VET you know.) Holding a real aligator. Notice that Mason is not in the pic. He was not going anywhere near that "real live thing." Corn pit! Gotta love it! Lacey, chose the pony ride as her one and only, suprise! suprise! This was part of the show. It was worth the 30 minute wait. They did a really cute (FREE) show and it was very educational. Do you know the difference between sealion's and seals. Emery can tell you.
