the fair

Ryean and I decided to go the Puyallup Fair with our kids yesterday. It was awful! (In the end, it was probably worth it because the kids had a blast, but mostly, it was awful).

It's way too long of a story to write out here, but it was one thing after another. An hour added to our commute due to traffic, a parking spot a mile or so away from the fair because we needed out of our car, a threat of rain, long bathroom breaks, crazy crowds, multiple dirty diapers, an emergency bathroom stop on the walk back to the car, two trips through the ticket line because we underestimated the number of tickets we needed, entering the exact opposite side of the fair...to name a few.

Once we got out of the car, life was a little better though.

The only ride that Mason was tall enough to ride on was the train. Luckily, he loved it!

Andrew and Kai went on the giant slide on their own. It was cute to watch the two of them. They both wanted to do it again, but we had to go (we wanted to get back to our car before it was dark, plus we were out of tickets, again).

After the rides, we stopped for a snack. I got a bag of scones!! The real reason I go to the fair... : )

How cute are these guys!

The kids did great through it all. I don't think the crowds or the lines really bothered them. They all had a great time. Which of course, makes it worth it. Sort of. : )

You got some great pictures, even if you had a crappy time it doesn't look like it from the pictures.
