Scones and Cow-Chip Cookies--it is fair time!

Greetings!

Elsa and Jonas had a great time at the Puyallup Fair!  We took them on opening weekend and were pleasantly surprised by the relatively small crowd!  The tractor ride was a big hit, as well as, the pig palace!  The kids wanted to stay all day and do "one more thing" but were so tired and took well earned naps.  We managed to avoid all fried food at the fair...not an easy task when there is deep fried butter on offer.  Elsa and Jonas split their first "Cow-chip cookie" and loved it.  Mari and Dan stuck with the scones. 

Dan's Uncle Bob sent up a nice present for E & J.  He sent up a really nice train set.  Elsa and Jonas had a great time the past two weekends driving the train around the track and switching the "points".  We have a good little team most of the time and it is a lot of fun to see them think about how their decisions impact the speed and direction of the train and if it will stay on the tracks:).  Good times!

One week of school down for everyone and we are off to a great year!

God Bless,
Mari & Dan & Elsa & Jonas
