Here are some pictures from the Puyallup Fair this year. It truly is a fair-weather friend, isn't it? When the weather's nice, it's so crowded it can give you no attention. When the weather's dour and the large crowds disappear, the park is yours, and it will take you for everything you've got.
Yet we return year after year with high hopes, greatly anticipating the new arrivals of entertainers and exotic animals. This year Zachai got to ride a camel! That was pretty exciting. The acrobatic and somewhat masochistic high-rise performers were startlingly impressive. In fact, Zachai hid his face and Kaveh burst into tears watching the man on top of the 40 foot pole do a handstand. As the tip of the pole began to sway, we all got a little woozy.
Crazy, isn't it! The wind was blowing hard and the pole was tipping from side to side. Great fun.
Here are some pictures of the boys, the rides and the animals. At times I couldn't differentiate between them.

See you next year, Puyallup! No matter the weather, we always manage to make our way back to you.
