Since we have been married we have not missed the Kittitas County Fair and we sure as heck weren't going to miss it this year. We splurged a bit and got Mariska and me a ride all day bracelet and did we get our moneys worth. I had a good time but I am not a teen any more and couldn't do the rides without a motion sickness pill. :( Oh well a good time was had by all.
I personally think this is the only to go when you go to a fair. It brought back memories of when my dad would drape us over his shoulders.
Riska loves anything that is chicken and I mean everything! I wonder if she knows that the chicken we eat is the same thing running around in Grandpa and Grandma's backyard. Mmmmmmm.
We spent most the day with John's sister Anna and her family. It was nice to have them around. John took Jack home and I stayed with Riska at the fair. We did a lot of the rides with Anna and Levi. Thanks again Anna and Jared I really appreciate you!
Anna and I entered Riska and Levi into the Junior Rodeo. It was so fun and way cute. Jack ended up joining in the fun when not enough kids signed up. Glad I have no qualms about looking like an idiot so my kids can have fun.
My Two boys! Love them so much!
Riska did the Barrel Racing. She was a little nervous when everyone started clapping for her when she came out of the pen. This picture is just after she threw her horse. The best part of the Junior Rodeo was the two guys doing the commentating. They were so good with the kids and seem to have a good time. We were laughing pretty hard during the whole thing.
She didn't want to do the barrel racing but was a little upset when I tried to bring her back to the pen. It is so funny how she can be so outgoing one min and so shy the next.
Jack did the bucking bronco's. I felt like an idiot but at the same time was laughing so hard I really didn't care.
Jack was more interested on chewing on the ears and the horn. It was a long fun day and I have ridden enough rides to last me awhile but I am really glad we went!
He has a very mellow temperament and seems to enjoy the kids a lot. He has been a little nervous all day but it is understandable, everything that he has known is no longer there.
We were not sure if Riska really understood that we were getting a dog but it was very clear to her when we started the drive back home. Everywhere we stopped she would tell us to not forget the puppy.
We have to be a little more careful with Jack and Jasper. Jasper is only a puppy and has some sharp teeth that Jack finds very interesting. Every time we bring them together Jack puts his fingers into Jasper's mouth.
I was a little nervous about getting a dog but as soon as I saw Jasper I fell in love with him and new he was going to be a great addition to our home.
