The Puyallup Fair 2010

Going to see the quilts is one of my favorite things at the Fair (second only to the scones!). I usually go see these while Ray and Chloe go on the rides. But this year, it was so wet that they just waited for me to quickly go through the exhibit.


Little kid playing with the Mutton at the Mutton-Busting! Too funny!


One of our favorite events is the Mutton Busting...little kids try to ride the sheep as long as they can. Not a lot of entries this year...there was a lot of rain and mud! We still enjoyed watching, though.


Here's me with the bunny at the petting zoo!


Aaahhh...love the petting zoo!

We probably could have used the warmth during the Fair!


It was raining the day we went to the Fair, but we still visited all of our favorite places.



Giant pumpkin! Love these. They are usually by the Giant Corn and the old-fashioned cabin.

When we go to the Fair, we get there early and get a scone first thing!

Wow

It's been over a year since I updated my blog. Coincidentally, it was a year ago that I was given extra duties at work, frequently working extra hours, and was tired every night coming home (and very stressed). The last year at work has been pretty difficult, but it's over now and I'm looking forward to the future.

License plate game: we're now on 345! Ray and Chloe just saw 344 today, and I saw 343 yesterday. We've been through weeks of not seeing any numbers, though, so it's nice to get some momentum!

This last year we took one big trip, it was to Mexico for a friend's wedding. I'll post some pictures of that later. We could not believe how absolutely beautiful Mexico was! I feel really lucky to have been invited and to have been able to go to such a wonderful event.

We took a couple of short trips to various places in the state, and was able to get back to LaConner last month. It was really good to relax and get away.

I've gotten back to my sewing and stamping lately, too. I started working again on my Christmas quilt that I started 2 years ago. I also started a block-of-the-month quilt kit from Keepsake Quilting.

I feel so much better lately. I feel like I'm coming out of a fog, and hopefully I can keep it this way!
