The Nelson's At the Puyallup Fair!

 We had a great time at the fair this year!  Grandma and Grandpa Nelson came up from Portland to spend the evening with us there.  All the kids got to catch and release a  fish, Rachel said she got really wet! 

 All the kids got to shoot an air riffle and shoot at targets, they all did a good job.  I think that was a favorite of theirs.  This is Eric sporting the amazing bulls-eye he got...or close to bulls-eye.

 All the kids competed in a tractor pull.  We do this every year.  They all got to the 2nd round this year, except poor Brian.  His little legs just couldn't pull the weight.

 This is Rachel sporting her face painting she got done.  She went tribal this year.  Such a pretty girl!

 Brian went all tatoo, with teddy bears with red hearts and rainbow horses.  Eric was a bit dissapointed in his choices. 

 This is one of my most favorite fair pictures.  The corndog looks HUGE!  Good photography Scott!

 Dinner time! Ribs and more ribs!  This BBQ joint is the best!  Braces and ribs just don't mix.  Eric and Rachel looked pretty scary after the carnivor fest.

 We got to see the baby piggys.  That poor mommy pig.  I have never been fond of nursing, but this is taking nursing to a whole new level!

 Scott enjoying his ribs! 

Yes, you see correctly, we actually found a place that fries butter!  This says "Deep Fried Butter"  So they have a scoop of very cold butter.  They dip it in batter, then they fry it. We watched as someone was eating one.  It got pretty messy.  Only in America!

Well that was the Puyallup fair.  I love the fair because there are so many things to do with your kids for free.  All these activities (exception of food) were free. The kids even get a free ticket to the fair from School. So this makes it fun and affordable.  What a fun place to live!  It is a fun tradition we enjoy every year.  If you want to join us next year come along and "Do the Puyallup"!
