Washington County Fair

Well we actually live in Clackamas County (I think) but we headed over to the other side of town for the fair last weekend. We drove over there for two reasons, 1: Dustin read somewhere that it was the best county fair in the area and 2: it was free admission. We had a great time! Here is our annual family picture. We get a big button every year, random but fun. They had lots of fun free shows that the girls really enjoyed. Right as we walked in we saw a show going on and they were looking for kids to dress up so the girls ran over ......

Maddy was a dancing cowgirl.....

Josey was a sheep......

And Lilly watched from the sidelines.

Then we found a fun area for kids to do different crafts and games. Lilly LOVED digging for potatoes.Josey and Maddy milked the cow.And then they made little "dirt babies". They are really cute actually and a really good craft idea. They are basically homemade chia pets. They are now on our window sill awaiting their hair and first hair cut. Then they had a magic show with Mother Goose. Dustin and I couldn't believe how big Lilly is getting. She just sat there on the big kid carpet watching and laughing at all the right moments. Maddy and Josey even got picked to go up and participate in that show as well. I will spare you from the video Dustin took of the song they had to wave a scarf through. All I can say is that Dustin and I were really trying hard not to laugh. Then we headed over to find the animals. We saw pigs, goats, chickens, horses, cows, and.......guinea pigs! Who knew you could enter your guinea pig in the fair?!


Then we headed out with our cotton candy as the day was heating up. We had a great time!

Your family's county fair experience looks like a dream compared to ours a few months back. Sounds like you had a wonderful time (and I love the girls dressed up!)

Dustin and fam! This is Elder Wagenman from the Argentina Rosario mission! I stumbled upon the mission blog that Rob Mortensen set up and found your link there. Great looking family! I have the great fortune of having 3 daughters also! Check out our blog. There should be a link on the mission website, but it is joelisawagenman.blogspot.com

Pres. John Covey (Stephen's brother) taught me once to "spend money on family experiences, not things." It looks like you guys are creating wonderful family memories.
