Moving right along..

The fair in Port Angeles went well. I didn’t have any problems, just the stress of teaching the workers how to do everything. But they got it quick and did a fine job! We took down that evening and headed to Kennewick, WA for the Benton-Franklin Tri-city Fair! We had to book it over there because the fair starts on Tuesday and it’s a six or seven hour drive.  And last time, I got in that accident and ran out of time and had a million other problems.  But this time we drove straight through with no problems!  It was relieving. We set up the next morning and didn’t have any problems.  It was really nice.  (It sounds like I’m building my sentences up to some big problem!)  We didn’t have any major problems at this fair. Just a bunch of little ones!  Joe and I had a lot of stress, but we got through it together.  Joe is a champ! He handled the bubbles and I handled the wall! We both did great and it was always nice at night because we got to see free concerts! We watched, REO Speedwagon, Hinder, Big and Rich, Foghat, and Jerrod Niemann! 

They were all pretty good concerts! It was very fun to listen to while working.

Anyway, we finished yet another fair!  It was great to be done with that one!  On Sunday, I went to church and took care of a couple other business stuff then Joe and I took down. I’m not sure why, but we had a ton of fun taking down and laughed the entire time.  I don’t even know why we were laughing so hard!  It was funny!  We took down then showered and grab some dinner. After we took off to Walla Walla, WA!  We set up that night so we could have two days off!! Yippee! So far, Monday, we ran our errands, did laundry, and went to the Movies.  Joe wanted to see the Expendables 2.  That was a good movie.  Hardly any talking, just action!  And if there was talking it was just sarcasm towards each other.  It was a very funny movie.  So, as of today, I’m not sure what we have planned, but I’ll let you know next post!! Thanks for reading everyone! Hope you enjoyed it!  Adventure is out there!!

Exploring with my time off

So, we got to Port Angeles, WA. Way up north, near Canada. I had a lot of fun here. With my few days of time off I did a lot of hiking and exploring.  The Olympia National Park was only a few minutes away so I could do a ton of stuff.  So, on my hikes I saw a ton of stuff! I saw a ton of deer, chipmunks, mountain goats, and a marmot! Crazy, right?! I thought so! And they were all super close, I could have touched them if they didn’t get so scared! Anyway, I also went to a beach and got in the freezing cold water! The families there were all swimming and having so much fun.  A lady told me that it was a hot day for them, so everyone comes to the beach! It was only 78 degrees outside!!  The water didn’t feel too great for me! I got in half way and was done. It’s the Nevada heat that gets me! I had a lot of fun exploring and going on hikes! 

Enjoy the pictures!!

  

Craziness!

It’s been a crazy few weeks! Sorry late on the blog posts! It’s been a stressful few weeks as well! So let’s start from the second week in august, shall we?! We were in Clark County, Ridgefield, Washington for the ten day fair!! We didn’t do a ton of stuff here, more just hanging out until the fair started. The fair went pretty well.  Some parts were slow of course, so I had some time to read and make bracelets! I made a Captain America bracelet!! I thought of doing all the Avenger heroes! Pretty cool, huh?!  They also had a fun play and brain game area, so I was over there a lot messing around with all the stuff! I even built this cool contraption! Oh I also ran into some old friends! Jest in Time!! 

Well, later in the week we have another fair booked for the bubbles.  So I left Joe, on his own, to run the wall and I drove to good ol’ Tillamook, Oregon to run the bubbles.   This was kind of upsetting because we weren’t in the same spot as last year so no one knew where we were.  It was tough.  I also slept in the back of the truck because Joe had the RV in Ridgefield!  

Pretty crazy, although it was slightly comfortable as well. 

Oh and what a small world we live in!! 

While in Tillamook, this lady came over and she looked so familiar. We finally got to talking and she asked if I was in Grangeville, ID for the border days! Our very first fair! I told her yes and she said her mom lives there and she was visiting! She showed me a video on her phone of me jumping her little boy!  It was so crazy!  So we had to get a picture of it!! How fun!! Anyway, I made it through the Tillamook fair with no problems besides having to take everything down by myself and driving at four in the morning! But all went well and we worked the wall on Sunday, the last day of the CC fair and then took down! No problems!  Then, off to Port Angeles, WA for the next weekend fair!

Thanks everyone!

Beautiful Day in Seattle!

We have a couple days off until the next fair starts, so Joe and I decided to go to Seattle! Joe has never been to Seattle before so he was excited to go. We parked on Harbor Ave, by Seacrest Park and took the Water Taxi over to Downtown Seattle. The water taxi is way cool and fun for me because the first year I started doing this with my father, we took that over to downtown Seattle. It's nothing super amazing, but it is cool to say that you've done it and got to see the Seattle skyline. Anyway, on the water taxi you get to see a lot of cool sights. Some things we saw was a Fire Boat, like a fire truck, but a boat and a Navy plane. They were both way cool to see and they were super close to us!

When we docked in Seattle we walked over to Pike's Place. A must see location in Seattle. They have almost everything there. To clothes, flowers, fish, live entertainment, to bums, jewelry, assorted fruits and veggies, to artwork...a lot of stuff. It's really neat and a lot of fun. I bought some fresh blackberries and raspberries. They were delicious! Oh, there is this one fish market place there and the team throws fish and crab when someone orders it and they yell...a lot! It's really funny. When we were there they threw three crab and a huge fish. They can also get tips and when they do they yell "We gotta Tip! Yay!" Very fun! A must see place for sure! We also walked down Post Alley where you can see the Wall of Gum! Yuck!

After Pike's Place we walked to the Space Needle! We checked out various shops along the way. One of which was a comic shop, which Joe loves. We also stopped along the way to take pictures of the cool architecture they had. The Needle was cool to see from down low and at a distance, we didn't go up because it was pretty pricey. Afterwards, we walked around some more and headed back over to wrap up the day. Stopped at a couple chocolate/souvenir shops, one which had these cute truffles! I had to take a picture for my nephew Elliot, because of the elephants! So cute!

So, we wrapped up the day by watching the famous spray painters of Seattle. It's crazy to see the art work that can be done with spray paint. There are so many very talented people out in the world! Crazy! We took the water taxi back over to Seacrest park, then took a few more pictures as we said Goodbye to Seattle. We had a ton of fun and really enjoyed being tourists for a day!
