Home Grown Fun!

The Evergreen State Fair started on Thursday and today we went. 

Mark got a turkey leg again this year! MMMM, turkey leg!

After we ate, Lon spotted the pony rides.  Of course he went on them.  Most years the photos they take I can live without, but this years was SO cute! I will post it later.

Waving at Mom

He takes such cute pictures!

Look Mom, no hands!

Ice cream break! Lopez Island Creamery. Chocolate Chip is the flavor Lon got. I tried Lemon raspberry swirl. I think that would have been better as a sorbet. Lemon ice cream is not something I think I am going to try again.

The Lego display! Lon loved looking at them

Lon rode the tractors again this year.  Mark ran into someone he knew ! It was nice

This gave Mark someone to chat with while Lon was in the kid area. Getting eggs, picking apples, milking the cow and digging a potato.  Then he would put his items in the right baskets and do it again. Over and over.  After about 7 times, he was done this year.

He wanted to go pet the baby animals, first he went to see the ponies.

He said Hi! to the sleeping piglets

Talking to the baby goats

Lon said the goat told him it was okay to pet him.

Lon had his picture taken with some local news celebrities.They took his photo too. KIRO Channel 7. (if you want to look they said it was be on the Kiro.com web site under community pages)

RIDES!! Lon  LOVES LOVES LOVES rides! I have no idea who the other person is in the car with him but they were goofing off together and having fun

I got ride tickets! WooHOOo!

This car ride is not so much fun. It is SLOW and it does NOTHING. We are not doing this again. EVER.

Mom! Listen to me! We are going on MORE rides! Am I clear?? Gee, I wonder where he got that....

We rode the carousel together. Lon wanted to be on the cat, but another little boy got there first. drat. Maybe next time

We put Lon in the banana suit and had his picture taken. He then got a banana crown to wear later. We had to give back the suit.  He was not exactly thrilled to dress up like a banana. 

We went into the walking with Dinosaurs Exhibit.  Mechanically moving dinosaurs with noise. Lots of noise. The little ones did not upset Lon. The very large T-rex, who was attacking the Triceratops upset Lon. Lon's favorite dinosaur is the Triceratops

At then end there were some games to play and a souvenir station (we passed) and a place to dig up bones. The bones looked very much like cow bones. Lon had fun with it. I left Lon and Daddy there and went back to the pony ride place and got the super cute photo of Lon (I will post that soon, promise)

On our way back to the car we watched as seven Clydesdale horses were loaded into one trailer.  That was one big heavy duty trailer pulled by one heavy duty truck!

The view of the fair from where we parked the car.

As we were leaving, we drove by the fair.  Lon told us he wants to ride on all the big rides as soon as he can.

We had a great time at the fair. The Evergreen State Fair is becoming our favorite fair.
