A Day at the Fair

For the first time since we've lived in WA, we made a trip up to the Evergreen State Fair! It takes place in Monroe which is about 30 min north of us, so that made for a nice easy trip. :)

We spent the day wandering around the various 4-H animal displays/exhibits. There were cows, rabbits, fowl, dogs, sheep, goats and horses to be seen! Caiden REALLY enjoyed seeing all of the animals! He spent half of the time in his stroller leaning way over and swiveling his head from side to side taking it all in! He even got to pet some bunny rabbits!!

There was also (what I am coming to understand as "the usual") a bevy of vendors hawking their wares. It's as if you are stuck in late night infomercial hell. Displays to the right! Demos to the left! Try me try me try me!!! Fortunately we were able to resist the allure and walked away with our wallets intact. We did indulge in a bit of fair food, but nothing too crazy there either.

We took a little break over by one of the rides. It is the kind that looks like a gigantic 360 degree pendulum with a car on each end. It sends the riders several stories up as it swings around and around with the cars doing their own individual loop de loop as well. Caiden thought that was just the coolest thing and kept exclaiming over it as he watched it go round and round.

Overall it was a fun day spent outdoors wandering around and enjoying some good people watching! I'm glad Caiden is getting old enough now to be able to enjoy these kinds of outings. :)
