Washington Trip~ Day 2~ Puyallup Fair

Pass out after the fair...
Day two we went to a small town little fair. It was lots of fun with a few little rides for Ava and lots of little animals to look at. The local firefighters had a free dress up and tour of the truck with a picture, Ava never smiled during it I guess she took her "job" seriously as firefighters do! We had lots of fun of course and the kids had a good nap back in the car!

We made it to the Seattle airport around noon on August 6Th. The plane ride went well with the kids on the way there. Uncle Chris picked us up and we were off to his and Grandma's houses in Port Orchard. The kids were not happy about being trapped in the car for an hour drive after the airplane. We made it tho and hung out at their house for the rest of the day. The next day we all packed up and headed for the big Seattle Zoo! It was a great day at the HUGE zoo. We had lots of fun that tired us all out!
