2012 Central WA State Fair

Gone are the days when our kids knew nothing about any kind of fair. We used to be able to drive a scenic route, only to avoid passing by the giant Ferris Wheel, flashing bright lights, and catchy music, in hopes that the kids wouldn't ask to go. We would tell other parents to be quiet in front of our kids when they talked about taking their own children to the ridiculously over-priced, over-glamorized, and overly dirty and disgusting joint! And now, our kids are in a school that takes an ENTIRE DAY OFF of school, so that kids can go to the fair. They pass out entrance coupons as incentive for those that read a certain amount that month. We have no choice. We HAVE to take our kids to the fair. And we try and act like we enjoy it. :) The girls don't have to try so hard...they just LOVE IT!
