One of the great things about living back on the west side of the state is getting to go to the Puyallup fair! I grew up going - we would even get half a day off of school to go for FREE! I LOVE THE FAIR! I love the rides, the games, and most of all the FOOD!
Fisher fair scones are seriously one of my favorite foods of ALL TIME and every year my family buys at least 2 dozen! This year, I'm proud to say that in 1 week my family (including extended family) managed to finish off 5 DOZEN!!! Funny story...my parents came home from the fair with 3 dozen last Friday before our extended fam was going to come over to watch the PLU game on Saturday and my dad was actually worried I would eat ALL 3 DOZEN in 1 night! Don't worry, I may have 3 in one day, but not 3 DOZEN! GEEEEEZ!!!
This year we were excited to take Hadley with us to the fair. I took her to the Spring Fair with my parents, but it is not the same as the big fall "real" fair! My mom watched Corban so Chris and I could take Hadley to experience her first real fair (we didn't think Corban would appreciate it this year). ;)
We had a great time! Our main goal was for Hadley to see the animals that she loves so much in books...well, we saw them but I can't say she loved them as much in person - turns out they are kind of scary! :) Her favorite animals were the dogs, pigeons (SICK, I know!), and the sheep - but the sheep managed to scare her when up close and personal as well. When we walked through the horses she just kept waving and saying "Bye, bye, bye..." in a real uneasy tone because she wanted to get out of there!

I love the monkey leash!! We are hoping to go to the fair again once this weather cooperates. Hadley is such a cutie!
I think this post was great... particularly your commentary about the sow. Being back on the nursing train, I sometimes feel like that photo looks. :)
