The State Fair

Just like Wilbur and Charlotte, we packed Gracie and Lucy off to the Evergreen State Fair yesterday. Thanks to the tickets we won with entering Gracie in a photo contest we were able to get in for free. We made up for the free entry by spending tons of money on Greasy fair food, hot dogs, fries, corn on the cob and yummy strawberry shortcake and popcorn. Of course we ignored the weather report of impending rain and managed to get in about two hours at the Fair before the skies opened and it started pouring rain!We watched huge Clydesdale horses, a lumberjack contest, went to John Deere museum with lots of cool old tractors and household gadgets from the twenties. rain, rain, soaking wet family. Ugh... then we drove home and went to our friends John and Karlie's for dinner. Gracie was fearless at the fair and went on the huge Ferris Wheel with Paul and other rides!
