It's that time of year again...the leaves on the trees are turning colors, the days are getting shorter and the Good Sam ER is full of folks from the Puyallup Fair. Must be fall. "The Fair" is really quite a big deal here. We've been every year for the past three years and have really enjoyed it. We added a new twist this year and went to the cattle drive/parade that opens the fair on Friday. It was a lot of fun. We found a great spot on the curb right along the parade route. Matthew was so excited to see the cattle coming down the road and all of a sudden they made a sharp right turn into the gas station. Scott and I gave each other a puzzled look. Was this part of the parade route?? Then we saw a bunch of the folks on horses with lassos in the air. "Hmmm- I think they may have made a detour". After a few minutes they all came barreling out of the gas station, back on the parade route. Matthew was very matter of fact and said "Cows needed gas". It's a little tough to make out, but below is the cows leaving the 76 after getting gas ; ) (after that, my camera died- so no more pics).


Matthew was thrilled to be tall enough to ride some of the kiddie rides this year. We probably could have spent all day there going from ride to ride.
