Our Visit to Puyallup Washington!



















Wednesday night we flew back from a wonderful visit to Grandad and GranJan's house. I am going to post a few pictures here, but the rest will be in the slide show up in the corner. Also within the next few days I'll have some albums on my Facebook and the pictures will be bigger and easier to see there.
We flew in on a Tuesday afternoon and hit the ground running. Living in a small town now it was fun to be back where there were lots of options of things to do. The main reason we went this time of year was to make a trip to the Puyallup fair. It is a pretty big fair and I've been going my whole life. The last time we went I was pregnant with Allyson and we had evacuated from Houston for Rita. This time was so much fun with the girls. Their little eyes see so much and they loved it. If you notice in the pictures it looks like we were eating the whole time - not really true! But that is part of the fair - so much yummy food. It was kind of disappointing because there was a whole section of rides for the littler kids and as we were walking through Lauren was noticing all of them, pointing and saying, "please" to ride them. Then it turns out you have to be 2 to ride ANYTHING at the fair - even the carousel. We were kind of surprised and she was pretty sad when I took Allyson on the carousel. After that we left the rides and looked at other fun things.
The rest of the trip was full of time with my parents, and extended family. Oh - and shopping! The girls enjoyed Grandad and GranJan to the fullest extent. Allyson was my dad's shadow and Lauren - as always - was her usual independent self. She kind of makes herself at home where ever and finds lots to do and lots to get into. They both did really this trip.
On the way home from the airport Allyson asked if we could go back to the airport "tomorrow and go back to Grandad's house."
That about sums it up!
