Get Your Squeal On !

This was the theme of this year's Evergreen State Fair. We love this fair. It is a good size, but still small enough to enjoy

Our first stop was the Phineas and Ferb Show! Put on by Radio Disney.  Part of the fun was a trivia contest. Lon got picked by virtue of his awesome dance moves. We saw Alex there too, and he was also picked for the same team in the trivia contest!

The boys won some great Finding Nemo magnets.

A reprise of the awesome dance moves that they got them picked for the trivia game. It was fun to have met up with Alex and his family

Grace and Lon looking at the Lego collection and kid made creations. Lon thinks he would like to enter one next year.  I think we might. Mommy will enter a cake and a quilt and Lon will enter a Lego creation!

Helping the man tear off the plastic from the wing of this radio controlled airplane.

A little bit of a snack! Lon liked his corn dog. Mark got a smoked turkey leg!

Testing out some garden pruners. We went through all the booths. All the fun things we did not know about and wonder how we can live without!  Mark did buy me a pretty ring!

I just liked this sunset photo

In a fit of nostalgia, Lon went through the Farm to Market booth.  He more or less just looked at it and then we could move on.

We had been thinking about milk delivery since last time we were at the Fair. This year, we signed up for Smith Brother's Dairy home delivery. We will let you know what we think about it.

Checking out the bees. They were all asleep. It was getting a little chilly!

Lon riding the ponies.  This might be his last year, we did not get the photo this time. The photos did not turn out as cute as in past years.

We love the Grange exhibits. They are highly creative

Catching up with Mark, Lon, Meagan, Gernot and Grace.  They went to the rides and I wanted to check out some more booths.

The midway

In the spinning helmet. We were going to let Lon ride on 5 rides. The cost of 5 rides was the same price as an all you can ride pass.  We got him an all you can ride bracelet.  He thought he has the best Daddy EVER

The fun house exit. They went through there 4 times.
While we were waiting, I went to get some mini doughnuts, since it was getting late the man at the O-Gee donuts gave me a bunch of extras. We were very appreciative of them!

Lon and Grace on the Haywire ride. They were loving being able to ride all the big kid rides. No more baby rides for these two!  We started to make our way out of the Fair. We passed a booth that said your name on a marble. We have never seen Lon's name pre-printed on anything. So we asked, to our amazement, they had his name already on the marble. Of course, we bought one!

On our way out, we passed a couple of kid rides that they still wanted to go on. The big slide,  the shrek maze thingy, and of course, the carousel. That was the last ride of the night. It was almost 11pm.  Yes, 11pm. We spent the whole evening at the Fair. It was very fun. We have never closed down the Fair before. I think we should do it again!
