Washington State Fair

It's fair time in Washington State! I can't believe it's already time for the fair! To me, the arrival of the fair means the arrival of Fall - and that can't be - summer just got here!! Alas, it is getting cooler (like high 60's, low 70's) and the leaves have already started changing. I think I'm more excited for this year's change of the season for one reason - Brock will get to experience his first Fall, his first Halloween, first Thanksgiving, and before you know it, Christmas!! So, okay fine, we welcome Fall.... but don't come so early next year! :P

Had to wear our "country bib" to go to the fair! (blend in with the locals)

We had a wonderful family outing to the fair this year. It was a little crowded, but stayed just long enough to see the animals and get our Strawberry Shortcake scone from Fisher Scones (a 3 year tradition and running!). Brock saw lots of animals - cows, goats, llamas, alpacas, and horses. He was fascinated by all these big animals (that I'm sure looked just like bigger Diesels and Oscars to him), but he was equally fascinated by the gates, shovels and lights in all these oversized barns.... so... take that as you want.

A little horse butt anyone?

(Don't think that we didn't bring the stroller, he is way too heavy to carry around all day - we just figured maybe he could see more if we held him up.)

Football shirt from Cousin Katherin!

Our family was all ready for the big football game on Sunday night, and Brock was no exception! It was a nail-biter in the beginning, but the Seahawks pulled it out in the end to win 29 - 3 over the 49ers!!
