Puyallup Spring Fair

Marci had free tickets to the Puyallup Spring Fair because the CFO has a kid in her class. She asked if we wanted to come down and go with her. We said sure, why not! It was a beautiful day and there was a good amount of people there. Marci said the real fair in the fall is a lot bigger and even more people. We were greeting by this Spring Fair bird as we walked in. Preston walked right up to it no problem. Chelsea is checking him out. 

They had a barn with little kid activities like digging in dirt, races with pumping the water down the gutters and other things. They even had a petting area, but the line was way too long so we skipped that. We headed over to the Sheep Extravaganza (yes that is what it was called and we died laughing). 

Kate thought this was funny and Marci had her take a picture with it. Kate's growing up!

Inside the Sheep Extravaganza, this lady (she was super nice and also a school teacher so Marci and her were chatting about that) was spinning sheep wool into yarn and we were watching her. She had Lindsey and Kate choose a color and she made a necklace for them out of the sheep wool. It was time consuming, but a good learning experience for us on what they do with the sheep's wool to get it ready for spinning.

Marci also had a deal for tickets for the rides. Unfortunately, the lines were super duper long. Marci waited in a long line for the younger girls to ride and while she waited there, Kate went and rode another ride that was pretty intense. Kate said she felt like she was going to fall out because she couldn't hold on good enough because she just put lotion on. But she did like it still. Then the younger kids got to go on another ride and I forced Preston to ride on the motorcycle ride with them. But that meant we used the last ride ticket (another random lady gave Marci a card with tickets on it and I thought it was a ticket for a single ride, but they were just individual tickets and not enough for a ride) so Kate couldn't go on her 2nd ride she has chosen. Oops. I felt bad and Kate wasn't happy. We were tired and said our good byes and left. Such is family life! 

Chelsea crashed soon after getting in the car. 

It was a fun day and we got to eat some fair food like corn dogs, taco salads, teriyaki and donut holes. 

One of Chelsea's melt downs because it's hard to wait in a long line for a ride and she's 2 almost 3. Sigh.
