Evergreen State Fair

The annual trip to the fair in Monroe started out like any other year. We arrive at 10:45 and wandered through the petting zoo and animal barns. We met up with Neil's coworker Mr. Shell and he let Avery release a homing pigeon. We saw cows, pigs, goats, chickens, rabbits, ducks, sheep, horses, cats, dogs...

After a stop for lemonade, it was time for rides. Neil and Avery got wristbands and Avery headed for the big slide. This is where our normal fair experience changed. The usually timid Avery turned into a carnival ride champ. She finished off the little kid section in no time and was ready to move on to the bigger rides.

After a quick stop for lunch and a dash through the junk barns, we were on our way to the bigger rides. Cliff Hanger was the first ride and after that there was no stopping Avery. The only rides she wouldn't go on were the rides that went upside down or the super shot ride.

Six years in a row for Avery and many more to come!!!
