Happy Birthday at the Fair

What!?!
Another blog post about the fair?

Yep.

By now you might be thinking that all I have to talk about is 1) dogs, 2) the fair and 3) the family.

You'd be right.
Well, at least during August and September.

So, you may recall that we spent Alexia's Birthday at the Puyallup Fair. It just so happened that her birthday coincided with the day that Mikayla was competing in an Agility course with Josie that day. If you missed that post and related video, it's available here (click).

Here are some pics of Alexia, and her numerous visitors, from that day at the fair.

Nana and Poppy:


Alexia opening one of her presents: Her own digital camera.


Aunt Rachel & Uncle Steve:


Grandpa Dave & Grandma Margie:


More Presents (being opened in the dog/horse arena):


Alexia getting ready to enjoy some Roasted Corn:

Not Pictured: Alexia eating a Cow Chip Cookie (note the sticker on her shirt, partially hidden by her coat, announcing she ate a Cow Chip Cookie) and Alexia eating a Carmel Apple.

Family Group (plus Sarah who was part of the family for the day, and Josie is filling in for Tanya)


It was mentioned earlier in this post that Alexia received a digital camera for her birthday. She spent the rest of the day, and numerous days since then, taking pictures of everything (and nothing, at the same time).

In an attempt to keep all of you interested, let's make this into a short game. Let's call this game "Guess Who Took That Photo". Write down your answers on a separate piece of paper. Answers will be revealed at the end of this post (no cheating!!).

Did you write down your answers?
Really? Hmmmm.

Here are the answers:

Picture #3: Photo by Tanya

Now, don't get me wrong. We all take bad pictures sometimes and taking pictures in the dog barn is a tricky task. Tanya does take some great pictures and you'll see a few of them in the next post.

The other reason these are all pics by Tanya is because we need more memory for the kids computer before I can download all of Alexia's 4GB of pics and videos onto it. Let's hope that happens in the next week or so. Then we can finish up the Fair blog posts and get back to 'regular' life with the Rolfs.
