So you know how I was really excited to go to the fair and pet the baby cows -- they weren't there! It was the last weekend of the fair and all of the cows had already gone home. I kind of felt cheated. They should lower the ticket price or give out free scones or something to help make up for it. We mostly just saw a lot of sheep.
The Puyallup Fair is such a crazy place. Really very overwhelming. Like Disneyland except not quite as much fun and much more confusing -- I can't get lost at Disneyland. (I'm kind of on a Disney high this week. Can't wait to plan our next Disney vacation!!).
We walked around for quite a while and stopped for chocolate milk samples and then stood in line for the fair food -- one elephant ear per couple and then we each had our own scone. So good. There's something truly fabulous about fair food. We stopped and looked at one of those deep-fry-everything stands. You wouldn't believe the things they deep fry! Oreos and kool-aid (how the heck...?) and twinkies and snickers and pickles and on and on. So so so gross but also, oddly intriguing.
Is this the same picture I put in every single post? Hmmm...
We stopped for a minute to watch a little show.
We missed most of it, all of the juggling and everything, but we did get to see this guy climb up that super tall pole and sway back and forth and do a hand stand. It was kind of scary and very, very impressive.
We came back to the house and the boys played Scotland Yard while Annika and I prepared a very late dinner. We had chicken and rice and green beans and salad and it was delicious! We had a lot of fun with the two of them and I'm looking forward to hanging out with Annika again tomorrow morning. I very much enjoy coffee dates.
Psych Season 5 Disc 4 arrived in the mail today!!! We had it last week and we were SUPER excited to watch the finale (season 6 starts in the next couple of weeks) but the DVD wasn't working! It had worked just fine for the first three episodes and then when we got about ten minutes into the finale it kept stopping and then it would skip 4 or 12 minutes and it was so disappointing. Unfortunately (for me anyway) Steven is playing Halo with his dad tonight so we have to wait to watch it until tomorrow. Bummer.
It feels so much later than 7:30pm! Guess I'm tired tonight. I'm just watching Lucy tonight and doing dishes and catching up on the blog and maybe posting some facebook photos. I might even work on that quilt a little bit. Or have a glass of wine. Or read a book. Or clean my room. Who knows. Mostly I'll just miss my husband. Ha! Didn't mean for that to sound quite so sappy but I just LOVE having Steven home with me! Can't wait for Psych and tea and dinner at home together tomorrow evening.
