The Fair + The Sun + The water slides = a whole lot of fun.

We woke up bright and early Saturday morning and headed to the Northwest Washington Fair. Every year we say we won't go the next year, but the last couple of years The Bellingham Herald hires David to shoot the photo's for next year's fair flier. This year wasn't any different. We let Jordan and her friend Tala roam around alone. They had a blast. This is the first year I let her do it. I think she loved the independence.

The other Dave and Michelle joined us, along with another good friend Kristen and her son Tygan. It was a very very hot and humid day. I felt sorry for Kristen who is almost eight months pregnant. We wondered around the fair looking and eating. We all agreed the cow barn was the best, but only because they had a ton of fans going and it was the coolest place there. lol

About 2:00pm Dave and Michelle headed home and Kristen headed to a baby shower for her cousin. I kept Tygan so that he could go on some more rides. What 10-year-old boy wants to go to a baby shower? David left at 2:45pm to head down to Seattle to see the Seahawks game. The girls and I stayed until about 6:30pm. We where exhausted after being there for 9 hours.

On Sunday David had free tickets to the water slides. So once again it was Jordan, Tala, David and I. We woke up to rain, but it cleared up a little bit. Even with the clouds it was very warm and muggy. We went out anyway. Only in Washington do we consider going to the water slides in the rain. It never really rained while we where there. They did close the water down for about 15 mins while a thunder and lighting storm passed. Then everything was open and back to normal. We left at 6:00pm when the slides closed for the day. Just was we got in our car and headed down the road it started to rain like crazy. I guess someone up above was watching out for us.

This is me in all my glory of no make-up. I do have to admit that we are a cute couple. lol

It was a busy busy weekend, but also a lot of fun. A big blessing no drama, I like that the best.
