Puyallup Fair

We spent a day at the Puyallup Fair with Grandpa. Jane had tons of fun on the kiddie rides. She liked driving the little car and riding in the helicopter; but the Merry-go-round was by far her favorite attraction. We also had some delicious smoothies and scones of course. Visiting the animals was also a hit. We saw a GIANT pig with lots of adorable piglets and spent some time at the petting zoo as well. Grandpa even got in trouble for letting Clark ride the goat.

 

 

 

 

A Return to Provo

We spent the first weekend of September visiting Utah. Chad couldn't stand to miss the opening game for the Cougars. We also decided that Provo is beautiful in the fall and there is an atmosphere on BYU campus when school starts and football season gets underway. We visited with old friends while we were there. We stayed with the Harper family and Jane and Dax totally hit it off. They loved riding next to each other in the car and playing on the swings outside. We visited BYU campus and went by our old stomping grounds: The Department of Integrative Biology and The Center for Family History and Genealogy; and checked out the new buildings on campus. We even took the kids down to the duck pond and discovered that it is now inhabited by turtles as well. Chad and Hutch went to the football game, the Cougars won, and we celebrated with lots of good food. We hope to make an annual trip to Utah each fall.
