Today we went to the Puyallup Spring Fair. Puyallup is about 1 hour south, and a little west, from our house. Today was military appreciation day so we all got in FREE and parking was FREE-love that! It was such a beautiful spring day-the sun was shining and it was almost 70 degrees.
The kids always love to see the animals!
The boys enjoyed grinding their own corn to bring home and put in Jumpy's feeder (the squirrel in our backyard).
They got to make headbands and pretend they were bugs.
Then there was FREE face painting.
We also got to see a dockdogs show. We have seen them on TV before. They travel around with their set and then the local people can compete with their dogs to see which dog can jump the farthest. Some dogs would not go off but some loved it so much and could hardly sit still waiting to go. It was a fun show.
There was a huge salmon the kids could climb in. Naomi would not go in. Lately she has a fear of fish. When ever we go near water she has to ask if there are fish in the water and she is scared they are going to get her. So she did not go in because she said the fish would swallow her. Maybe she has heard the story of Jonah too much...
Naomi loved that she had a chance to meet Dora the Explorer!

We had a great time but came home to some drama. While we were at the fair, one of our neighbors saw a strange man in our backyard. She called the police and I guess they came out in full force. They caught the guy and everything is still in our yard so we are not sure what he was doing. They think that he was in the woods behind our yard and then came over the fence into our yard. I'm glad they caught him and that we have such awesome neighbors!

Yikes! That's scary!
Glad you had a good time at the fair. I think Jacob will have a career with animals when he's older--I wouldn't touch a snake!
Oh my goodness! So glad that you have awesome neighbors. Sounds like a fun day. We miss you so much. I'm with Jeff and Beth...snakes, crazy Jacob:)
