Puyallup Fair

Now that Jaden is in the 1st grade, he will get to go to the Puyallup Fair each fall with his class. I drove for the field trip and brought Bryson along. We also had another 1st grade boy from Jaden's class named Christopher with us.
Here are the boys in front of some big pumpkins.

Some of the other kids from Jaden's class with the boys.
At first we went off in search of Hobby Hall. Although Jaden was more interested in spending the $15 that he got to bring instead of looking at anything! His teacher, Barbara, had the same rule that I used to use when I taught 1st-3rd, that the kids couldn't spend their money until after lunch. That way they might actually see some exhibits or animals!

B found a Bee!
How big is Bryson?
The boys all were very interested in this bee hive, they watched it for over 10 minutes. They enjoyed finding the queen bee.
Finally made it to Hobby Hall, of course the Lego collections were a big hit! They also enjoyed spinning the wheel and getting a shiny rock.
In the dairy barn, where the boys got multiple free samples of chocolate milk.
Checking out the baby pigs.

All 3 boys got to saw a piece of this log and then got to keep the wood disk.

Bryson wanted to spend some of his money on rides. Jaden and Christopher preferred buying "stuff" when they found out how much the rides were!
Bryson also bought a light-up sword. Jaden bought a little cap gun.
Jaden and Christopher decided to play some games with their money as well.
Of course we had to get some cotton candy and fair scones!
A day at the fair, wouldn't be complete without a foot massage.

What a fun trip! Next year we decided that daddy needs to join us too:)
