Oregon State Fair

For our Labor Day weekend adventure, we were invited to go to the Oregon State Fair with some of Jeremy's family. We started off by heading to Vancouver to spend the night with Glenna, Jeremy's sister, and her family. Maeli loved cousin Kaitlyn's room.
Tucker had an ear infection and had all kinds of the yuckies, but he still thought Grandpa Dan was pretty fun.
First step: Fair food--ice cream! Tucker was feeling pretty yucky at this point.
We were all excited to partake of the fair food.
Jeremy got hypnotized, as did Glenna, and was totally out and snuggling with his new best friend. The guy didn't make him do anything too crazy, but he did a nice "Lord of the Dance" and "The twist."
Maeli wasn't tall enough to ride on any of the rides, but she did win a (stuffed) snake!
We convinced the guy at this ride to let Maeli try even though she was actually too short. You had to climb a rope latter and then cross a little bridge to a slide that spit you out into a ball pit.
She struggled in the ball pit, but Glenna risked life and limb (literally--she slipped on the way out and hurt her knee) to save our sweet girl.
Kaitlyn got to participate in the little circus, she was a great little lion.
We all really loved the clowns!
More ice cream!
And we're pooped!
All of us!
