Do the Puyallup!

On Sunday Nelia went to the Puyallup Fair for the very first time with Patrick, Opa (my dad), and I. It was the first time the three of us had been in years and we had a fabulous time!  We started with lunch, which consisted of onion burgers and french fries (healthy fair food, huh??).  Of course Nelia loved the french fries.

And Opa loved his burger!

Then we headed to the barns to see the animals. This was Nelia's favorite part, which wasn't a surprise to us. The girl loves animals! She knows what sound a pig, cow, chicken, goat, dog, and sheep make so she was full of all kinds of fun noises:)

We debated whether or not to bring the stroller or just carry her in the Kelty and we opted for the Kelty, which worked out perfectly!  We didn't have to deal with navigating a stroller through the crowds, there is plenty of room in the pack for Nelia's things, and she loves sitting in it (plus she had a great view of everything).

After the animals we looked at some of the other exhibits and booths. Nelia loved this particular booth - the bright colored cartoon characters would catch her eye from far away and these booths were all over the place.

After an hour or two we decided to take a break and watch a circus show. It was just two clowns that did some juggling, a dog that did some tricks, and some funny jokes.  It was actually quite entertaining - so entertaining that Nelia lasted the entire 30 minutes.

I love how Patrick has his arm around his girl:)

See...she loved it! She is clapping at the clown:)

After the show we wandered around a little bit more before stopping for an elephant ear, which is a staple fair food, right?:)  It was the first time that Nelia had ever had one, or really any sugar like that!  She LOVED it!  She just kept asking for more:)  We looked at a few more things before heading out.  We were there for about three hours and Nelia was so happy the entire time.  She loved it so much that we are planning on going back again.  Such a fun day!
