We don't normally go to the Puyallup fair every year...usually every other year, but after scoring some free tickets we decided that we would go. We originally wanted to go on Thursday after the kids got off school, but Michael wasn't able to get off work early that day. It turned out we would only be able to go on the last day.
On Sunday we went to church early and then headed out for the fair. Yes it was raining, but that doesn't stop a true Washingtonian!
We all have raincoats and the kids have muddy boots so we were prepared!
I love this look on Ella's face...."What in the heck have they gotten me in to!"
We told the kids that because of the rain we would NOT be going on any rides. There is nothing fun about sitting down on a ride that's already soaking wet to then get stuck on the ride while it's pouring down rain. I'm speaking from experience...no fun! We told the kids we were just there to check out the animals and eat some yummy food!
Michael getting to enjoy his favorite...an Elephant Ear! So good!!!!
Zeke wasn't sure about the elephant ear at first, but thankfully he came to his senses and reconsidered!
Ella knows a good thing when she tastes it though!
Owen has a cold so he wasn't really wanting to eat much so he didn't share in the yummy goodness.
Jack was loving the cinnamon and sugar tastiness too!
Once we were done with our first snack we headed to the barn where the kids got to the pet some animals.
Bunny!
I had a nice conversation with the lady holding the bunny and found out that they only let the little animals be out for one hour and then they get to have a break. They also look for any signs of apprehension and will let the animals have a break earlier if they need it.
Goats! The bigger animals get to be in the petting area for 2 hours before having a break.
Naked Neck Chicken...Owen was the only one that wanted to pet the chicken.
My favorite! The baby piggies! So cute! Those pigs are so cute trying to eat...they just rub around on her nipples. Seriously I've nursing 4 babies, but not all at one time and watching this mommy pig nurse 8 babies at once made my boobies hurt! These babies were only 5 days only!
These babies were 11 days old...love how those ones on the bottom were spooning!
This is when Michael took the kids to see the horses and I got to enjoy my chicken gyro! Right after this picture the sky really opened up and it started pouring. We decided we would get the rest of the food yummies we wanted and then head out.
Michael got to enjoy his HOT roasted corn on the cob! And we got the kids a monster bag of...
Cotton...
Candy!
By the time we got back to the van we were soaked! But the best part was hearing the kids say they had a good time!
