What does the Fair say!?!

On October 19th, Jon and I went to the Central Washington State Fair.  We got to the fair just before 1:00 so we could park and and get in for free..We made it in with 10 minutes to spare.

They had the tiger again this year.  He laid down the whole time we were there, so it was much easier to take a picture.

The Turtle was crawling around all over the place

This was a lot of fun to watch.  They had pig races at the fair this year.  It was so cute to see these little things run around a track.

The candy land display at the Sweet Treats display.  It was interesting to see how candy bars were made and where they started.

After dinner we headed over to watch the sprint car races.  We really enjoy watching those.  We first found a seat towards the front and as we sat there, we started getting mud thrown onto us.  So we decided to sit up in the covered bleachers.  It was so fun to see them race.  

After we watched some of the races, we got ready to head out, but Jon wanted to do one more thing.  So we headed over to a booth that had a virtual reality.  Jon enjoyed this. It was very entertaining seeing him moving around in the chair and some of the facial expressions that he had as he was going thru it.  

We had such a great time at the fair.  I always just love spending time with Jon.  I love him so much and am so grateful that he is in my lift.  I love you Jon.

Labor Day Weekend

We spent Labor Day weekend at home this year.  We thought we would go visit family, but everyone was gone for Labor Day, so we decided to have a BBQ at our house.  We invited a couple of friends over and had such a great time.  Everyone brought something to eat and we had soo much food.  Jon and I got a badminton net to set up and play.  We had a lot of fun with that.  Thanks Joel and Jill, Falaun, and Lori for coming.  It was fun to get to know everyone better and spend the afternoon playing.

Our next location??? Hawaii!!!!

On August 31st Jon and I had our next date night around the world.  This time we visited Hawaii.  It was still really warm outside so I decorated the outside to feel like we were in Hawaii.

We got all decked out in our Hawaiian clothes. Here is Jon in his Lava Lava.

For dinner I made Hawaiian Haystacks.  It is one of Jon's favorite dinners, and boy was it yummy!

While eating dinner we watched a video of the night show they do at the Polynesian Cultural Center down in Hawaii.  Because the sun was still out we couldn't see the screen very well, but we still had fun.

Loving Hawaii!!

I tried teaching Jon how to Hula

Hawaii is romantic. ;)

After dinner we headed back inside and made some tropical smoothies and watched the movie Pearl Harbor.

We had so much fun.  We are loving the idea of traveling around the world.  It has been a lot of fun.  Stay tuned for the next destination.

A visit from Family

On the weekend of August 23rd, my sister Emily and her family was in town visiting from Crescent City, CA, and since Jon and I were both off early on Friday we went down to visit.  Jon worked the next day so I stayed in Grandview while Jon worked.  Emily also got to meet Stuart.  With Emily in town, Lisa and her family came for a visit for the weekend.  It was so fun to have all the girls home.  Emily's birthday is on the 31st so we also celebrated her birthday with a dinner on Friday night.  When all of us girls get together, we just laugh and laugh and have so much fun. I didn't get any pictures because I was too busy visiting and swimming.  But we had such a great time.  Thanks for coming to visit Emily!  We had fun seeing you.
