Evergreen State Fair

Saturday we woke up early determined to make the most out of our final Saturday of the summer. We biked to the Redmond Farmer's market where we picked up some produce and two bird baths and a little hedge hog figure for the garden. We did a little back to school shopping for Sela at Redmond Town Center and then loaded the two little kids, the bird baths, produce, and Sela's clothes into the bike trailor and hurried back to Woodinville. Pretty sure we exceeded capacity on the trailor but I'm just glad I wasn't pulling it. We had a quick lunch at home and then headed to Monroe for the Evergreen State Fair.

I had many other things I needed to do Saturday and I almost sent Zig with the kids. I'm glad I decided to go because it was so much fun. It was a very classic fair with tons of animals and competitions and old fashioned fun. The highlight for Sela was cuddling a baby calf and the spaceship carnival ride. Nina loved the baby goats and spotting "the easter bunny." Rollin was glued to the nascar type races at the speedway and despite the noise didn't want to leave. He also loved riding a motorcyle at the carnival. We watched some western riding games at an indoor aren. We finally pooped out and headed home, with Rollin and Nina falling asleep in the parking lot as we drove out.
